Calendula officinalis

Calendula Pot Marigold is a hardy, easy-to-grow annual with bright yellow and orange edible flowers that can bloom for much of the year. Loved by bees, hoverflies, and other beneficial insects, it’s an excellent companion plant for the vegetable garden and a cheerful addition to borders, pots, and beds.

The petals have a mild, slightly peppery flavour and can be used fresh or dried. Calendula is also traditionally valued for its skin-soothing properties and is often grown for teas, oils, and salves.

Open-pollinated, chemical-free seeds. Grown and saved in Wexford, Ireland. We only grow and save seeds from plants that were started from certified organic seeds.

Our seed packet includes growing tips and suggestions for cooking.

    Plant out: April to September

    Harvesting time: May to November

  • Calendula petals can be used like saffron to colour rice and potatoes, or scattered over salads and desserts as a bright, edible garnish. They also make a gentle herbal tea when infused with honey and a slice of lemon, traditionally used to support relaxation and digestion.
