Orange Calendula (Calendula officinalis)
Family: Aster (Asteracea)
Annual. 40 to 50 days to maturity.
(Pot Marigold, Orange Calendula) Native to southern Europe, flowering orange to 18 inches tall. Test of commercial planting in 2024: Direct seeded April 10, first significant harvest June 16th, a 70-day induction period. I see why herbalists like this variety best–I had sticky fingers after picking the eighth blossom. Traditional usage (TWM): antiseptic, inhibits inflammation, promotes healing. The flowers, when boiled, yield a bright yellow-orange dye. Sow the seed directly in the garden in the spring, or grow as a container plant. Space plants 6 inches apart. These flowers are the color of the rising sun. Best organic calendula seeds.
