What Makes Survival Garden Seeds Different - non-GMO heirloom seeds

Add Rare, Lively Color to Your Garden with Greenheart Mix Calendula Seeds
Calendula officinalis ‘Greenheart Mix’ is a rare heirloom variety that turns any garden into a warm palette of gold, peach, and orange tones, each bloom accented by a unique lime-green center. These cheerful pot marigolds bring a fresh twist to classic calendula—perfect for gardeners looking to grow something truly distinctive for borders, beds, or cut flower arrangements.

Edible Flowers & Herbal Uses

Beyond their striking color, Greenheart calendula blooms are edible and versatile. Sprinkle the bright petals over salads, infuse them in teas, or bake them into breads and desserts for a touch of garden beauty. When dried, the flowers are valued for their herbal qualities—used traditionally in soothing salves, tinctures, and natural skincare remedies that nourish and protect.

Easy to Grow, Long Blooming & Reseeding

A cool-season annual, Calendula officinalis thrives in full sun and adapts to most soil types—from loam to sand or clay. Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost in spring or again in early fall for autumn color. Germination occurs in 7–14 days at 65–70°F. Plants grow 18–24 inches tall, producing continuous blooms from spring through fall. They also reseed readily, providing lasting color and herbal harvests year after year.

Supports Pollinators & Companion Planting

Open-faced calendula flowers naturally attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators that strengthen your garden’s ecosystem. Their companion planting benefits make them excellent partners for vegetables and herbs, helping deter pests and support overall plant health. With strong stems and long-lasting color, Greenheart calendulas also make exceptional cut flowers for vibrant arrangements.
