Calendula OG - live plant
Calendula officinalis
These Calendula seedlings are available in 4 inch pots and 6-pack. Available for pick up only.
In the Garden
Grows best in zones 2 through 11. Full Sun. Well drained soil - likely needs irrigation under cultivation. This self-seeding annual can grow 2 feet tall.
Harvest sunny Calendula June through frost. For best results, harvest once the flowers have fully opened in the morning sun. Allow the dew to dry before harvesting, especially if you plan to dry them.

Organic / Biodynamic Information

A Note about Plant Sizes
This picture shows the plant full grown.
If you are picking up Seedlings, know that they are quite small - just started and will need some care to establish. We've raised them from seed, and made sure they are adjusted to 24/7 outdoor weather, so it will be the perfect time and size to take home and plant in your own garden to arrange in harmony with your other plants.
If you order bare root, they will be just breaking dormancy and will need to be planted as soon as possible. These will be 1 year plants. Give them a year to fully establish in their new home.
If you are picking up Gallon sized pots, they are 1-3 year old plants dug from our gardens at Meeting House Farm.
