The Calendula Pacific Beauty (Pot Marigold), 'Calendula officinalis', is very easy to grow, and an adaptive plant that will prosper under most conditions. Calendula, an old English cottage garden flower, is not fancy, but if you are looking for something with large, beautiful flowers that is easy to grow, this is the plant. The Pacific Beauty has 5 inch bright orange and yellow, double, daisy-like flowers. They bloom and perform best in cool weather. In warm climates, they bloom fall through spring and in cool climates, spring and early summer. Pacific Beautys prefer full sun locations. They are very adaptive to soils types, as long as they are in well drained soils. The soils should be kept moist but not soggy. Plant in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, and in warm climates plant in late summer or early fall for winter/spring bloom. The Calendula is a long lasting cut flower and looks great planted in masses, such as in borders, parking strips and containers. ... find out more
