Add a little color and a lot of purpose to your garden with Pacific Beauty Calendula. Its vibrant orange and golden blooms are more than just pretty faces. The edible petals bring a gentle peppery flavor and natural color to salads, rice, and butter. Calendula is also a longtime favorite for herbal salves and skin preparations.

A prolific bloomer from spring through frost, calendula attracts beneficial insects and makes a lovely companion for vegetable gardens. It thrives in cool weather, is easy to grow, and readily self-seeds in mild climates.
