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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.
You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.
Are your seeds treated?
Are your seeds treated?
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.
