Unique Facts About Seeds

  • Calendula is commonly called pot marigold, although it belongs to the Calendula genus rather than the Tagetes genus.
  • Calendula is a member of the Asteraceae, or daisy, family.
  • Most Calendula officinalis varieties are known for yellow, orange, gold, or apricot flowers; pink-flowering selections are less common and should be verified by cultivar.
  • Calendula generally prefers cooler conditions than many traditional warm-season annuals.

Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Sow in early spring or fall depending on your climate. In mild regions, calendula can be grown during cooler parts of the year.

Sowing: Direct sow seeds into prepared soil or start them indoors. Calendula generally establishes readily from seed.

Depth: Sow approximately one-quarter inch deep and cover lightly with soil.

Spacing: Thin seedlings to approximately eight to twelve inches apart for healthy growth and airflow.

Sunlight: Provide full sun for strong flowering. Partial shade can be beneficial in hotter climates.

Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid locations where water remains around the roots.

Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during germination and early growth. Once established, water when the soil begins to dry.

Germination: Seeds commonly germinate within approximately seven to fourteen days under favorable conditions.

Transplanting: If started indoors, transplant young seedlings after they develop several true leaves. Harden them gradually before planting outdoors.

Fertilizing: Grow in moderately fertile soil and use a balanced flower fertilizer according to the product label if additional nutrients are needed.

Care: Keep weeds away from young plants, provide adequate airflow, and remove faded blooms to encourage continued flowering.

Flowering/Maturity: Calendula can begin flowering within several weeks under favorable conditions. Timing varies with cultivar, planting date, temperature, and local growing conditions.
