Also known as "Pot Marigold". Lovely semi-double to fully double flowers in shades of yellow, gold, orange and cream on sturdy well branched plants. When dried, the petals of Calendula flowers provide a culinary substitute for saffron and lend beauty to many dishes as edible flowers. Easy to grow and attractive to butterflies. Ideal for beds and borders and cut flowers.
