Calendula Mixture Flower

Calendula has been a cherished companion plant and herbal remedy for generations. This mix combines the classic, high-energy shades that made calendula a farmhouse favorite with a variety of petal shapes, from simple, daisy-like forms to lush, semi-double blooms.

• Continuous Color: These are prolific bloomers. By keeping them deadheaded, you can encourage a constant stream of fresh flowers, making them a perfect choice for reliable, low-maintenance color.
• Edible & Healing: The bright petals are entirely edible, offering a mild, tangy flavor perfect for fresh salads, soups, or as a colorful garnish. They are also highly prized in herbal traditions, frequently dried for soothing skin-nourishing salves, infused oils, and herbal teas.
• Beneficial Garden Ally: Calendula is a "must-have" companion plant. The flowers attract beneficial pollinators and hoverflies, while their presence in the vegetable garden helps deter common pests, keeping your crops healthy and vibrant.

"We love the Calendula Mix because it’s pure, uncomplicated joy. It’s one of the few flowers that actually seems to prefer cooler weather, meaning it’s the first to start blooming in the spring and the last to give up when the autumn frosts arrive. Whether you are using the petals in a post-garden soak or just enjoying the splash of sunset colors in your beds, this mix is a reliable, happy addition to the homestead."

• Sowing: Direct sow outdoors in early spring as soon as the ground can be worked. They thrive in cool, sunny weather.
• Maintenance: They are very low-maintenance. Simply ensure they receive adequate water during dry spells.
• Harvesting: For medicinal or culinary use, harvest the flower heads in the morning once the dew has dried. For the best production, harvest stems frequently for bouquets to keep the plant putting its energy into new blooms.
