Calendula officinalis

Calendula officinalis, commonly known as ‘pot marigold’, is a member of the Asteraceae family and is prized for its cheerful, daisy-like blooms in shades of yellow and orange. This cool-season annual thrives in full sun and moderately fertile and well-drained soil. Calendula is valued for its fast growth, extended flowering window, and versatility in containers, garden beds, and edible landscapes, where its petals are also appreciated for culinary and decorative use.
