Unique Facts About Seeds

  • Calendula is commonly called pot marigold, but it belongs to the Calendula genus rather than the Tagetes genus.
  • Calendula belongs to the daisy family, Asteraceae.
  • Calendula flowers can range from pale yellow and cream to vivid orange and deep apricot depending on the variety.
  • Calendula generally prefers cooler growing conditions than many warm-season annual flowers.

Growing Instructions

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

Sowing: Direct sow into prepared garden soil or start seeds indoors. Calendula generally handles direct sowing well.

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

Spacing: Thin or transplant seedlings to approximately eight to twelve inches apart.

Sunlight: Provide full sun for abundant flowering. Partial shade can be suitable in warmer climates.

Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil with good moisture retention. Avoid consistently soggy locations.

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

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

Transplanting: If starting indoors, transplant young seedlings after they have developed several true leaves. Harden them gradually before outdoor planting.

Fertilizing: Calendula generally grows well in moderately fertile soil. If needed, use a balanced flower fertilizer according to the product label.

Care: Keep weeds away from young plants, maintain good airflow, and remove spent blooms to encourage continued flowering.

Flowering/Maturity: Calendula can begin flowering within several weeks of planting under favorable conditions. Blooming duration and timing vary with climate, planting season, and growing conditions.
