Calendula (Calendula officinalis) are hardy, early bloomers with vibrant, sun-kissed hues atop sturdy stems. Semi-double, 2–3 inch blossoms appear in shades of orange, apricot, peach, and cream, often accented with deep red. Calendula is loved in pollinator gardens and as a companion plant, including alongside cannabis. Calendula attracts beneficial insects that help support plant health. The edible petals add charm to salads, and the plant has a long history in herbal medicine. Easy to grow from seed and tolerant of light frosts, calendula brings beauty, function, and purpose to any garden.
