Description

The longest-flowering and best double-flowered Calendula we have ever seen in T&M's trials. Strong, sturdy, multi-branching dwarf plants produce large, fully-double, yellow blooms.

Sowing Instructions

Sow outdoors where they are to flower. Prepare the ground well and rake to a fine tilth before sowing. Sow 12mm (½in) deep, in rows 30cm (12in) apart.

For Spring/Summer flowering - Sow in a cool greenhouse or conservatory in late summer/early autumn. Grow on cool in full light and water sparingly.

Kitchen Notes

The petals can be used as a substitute for saffron, added to soups, rice or omelettes. They also make a bright addition to salads.
