This classic heirloom pot marigold produces radiant, fully double orange blooms on sturdy stems—ideal for brightening garden beds, borders, and fresh-cut arrangements. Long cherished as a medicinal and culinary herb, calendula offers both beauty and purpose in every petal.
Edible Flowers & Herbal Tradition
Ball’s Orange calendula produces vibrant petals that are entirely edible—perfect for adding a pop of color to salads, breads, and teas. Beyond the kitchen, the resin-rich blooms are widely used in traditional herbal preparations including salves, tinctures, and balms that soothe and support healthy skin. Dry the blossoms easily for year-round herbal use.
Vibrant Blooms for Gardens & Bouquets
This variety is prized for its deep orange, double-petaled flowers that stand tall and hold their color beautifully when cut. Whether in garden beds or containers, these blooms create a continuous display from spring through fall, while attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators that help your garden thrive.
Easy to Grow & Reliable from Seed
A cool-season annual, Calendula officinalis grows best in full sun with moderate watering. Sow seeds directly outdoors after frost danger has passed, or start indoors for earlier blooms. Seeds germinate in 7–14 days at 65–70°F, and seedlings should be spaced 8–12 inches apart. Plants reach up to 24 inches tall and reseed naturally, ensuring lasting color and continuous harvests. Each packet includes easy planting directions and seed-saving tips for future seasons.
