When to Seed Calendula

This annual flower should be transplanted or direct seeded into the garden once all danger of frost has passed.

Where to Plant Calendula

This flower will need full sun and will prefer loose, well-draining soil, however, it is not super picky about its growing conditions.

Growing Calendula

Sow seeds ⅛ inch deep and four to six inches apart. Once mature, thin to 12 to 16 inches apart. This is a pretty low-maintenance crop, but regularly deadheading will result in more flowers.

Harvesting Calendula

Stems can be harvested for cut flowers using sharp shears. Many calendula varieties are grown for their medicinal benefits. For these purposes, dead head the flowers as soon as they open and use fresh or dried.
