Touch of Red Buff Calendula Flower

Carefree ‘Touch of Red’ Calendulas have dancing, daisy-like flowers in golden-yellow, rich orange and occasional buff shades, with distinctive rich mahogany-red color backs. These butterfly flowers bloom in early spring, supplying nectar and pollen when other sources are not as plentiful. Calendulas have been valued in the herbal world for making soothing lotions and salves. Bright flowers make long-lasting bouquets, and the pretty edible petals are colorful additions to eggs and baked goods and garnishing green salads.
