Franchi Seeds - Calendula
£3.50
Calendula, or pot marigold, is a classic cottage garden plant that thrives in herb patches, kitchen gardens, allotments, containers, and flower borders. It is very easy to grow and can handle tough conditions: in Broadstairs, it even thrives on the clifftops. Calendulas have been grown for centuries and can be used to make fragrant teas, as a food colouring, or as a natural dye. They also look beautiful on their own, brightening up any sunny spot in your garden and offering food for pollinating insects.
