Grow Soft, Sunlit Blooms with Apricot Beauty Calendula Seeds
Calendula officinalis ‘Apricot Beauty’ brings warmth and color to any garden with its gentle blend of apricot, peach, pale orange, and golden tones. This heirloom pot marigold variety produces semi-double blooms that brighten garden borders, containers, and bouquets. Easy to grow and beautifully packaged, it makes a thoughtful gift for both new and experienced gardeners.
Edible Flowers & Medicinal Uses
Apricot Beauty calendula offers beauty and function in equal measure. The edible petals add a splash of color to salads, cakes, and teas, while the dried blooms are valued in herbal remedies and skincare preparations such as salves, tinctures, and balms. Known as the “herbal sunshine flower,” calendula has long been cherished for its gentle, soothing properties.
Easy to Plant & Grow
A cool-season annual, Calendula officinalis thrives in full sun and adapts well to loam, sandy, or clay soils. Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost in spring, or in early fall for a cool-season display. Seeds germinate within 7–14 days at 65–70°F, and seedlings should be spaced 8–12 inches apart. Plants tolerate light frost and bloom continuously from spring through fall, often reseeding for natural renewal year after year.
Pollinator-Friendly & Garden-Boosting
Open-faced flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, helping to pollinate nearby vegetables and herbs. With sturdy stems ideal for cutting, calendulas bring cheerful color to both garden beds and vases. As a companion plant, Apricot Beauty supports healthy ecosystems by deterring pests and encouraging biodiversity.
