INTRODUCING CALENDULA SEEDS
The healing properties of this plant’s flower have long been known. Originating in the Mediterranean, calendula’s blooms are well known for their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Successfully growing in USDA hardiness zones 2 -11, calendula is a model of adaptability and resilience. Easy care and many uses result in calendula being a favorite among gardeners and herbalists. Calendula can be a highlight of an organic gardening strategy by attracting pollinators and protecting vegetables from many pests.
PLANTING CALENDULA SEEDS
In early spring, sow seeds directly in the garden soil. Calendula seeds can be sown in autumn as well. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep, spacing them 8 to 10 inches apart. Calendula plants prefer a sunny spot but are tolerant to some shade during the day. Once established, the plant is resistant to drought, but regular watering encourages prolific blooming.
MAINTAINING CALENDULA PLANTS
Calendula plants don’t require much upkeep. They benefit from occasional watering and light feeding for continuous blooming. Removing dry flowers will encourage new blooms. Harvesting calendula seeds is easy because they seed prolifically once flowers dry out.
