Description
Brighten your garden with the cheerful, fragrant blooms of Pacific Beauty Calendula Mix. This easy-to-grow annual produces large, fully double flowers in brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and gold, creating a vibrant display from late spring through fall. A favorite of traditional English cottage gardens, calendula thrives in the cooler temperatures of spring and fall and is tolerant of light frosts.
Both the fragrant flowers and slightly spicy leaves are edible, making them a colorful addition to salads, garnishes, and other culinary creations. The nectar-rich blooms also attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. Excellent for borders, flower beds, containers, and fresh-cut bouquets, Pacific Beauty calendula readily reseeds under favorable conditions, providing color year after year. Deer tend to avoid this hardy, low-maintenance favorite, making it a dependable choice for gardens of all sizes.
