Orange Pacific Beauty Calendula is a hardy, classic heirloom known for its large, semi-double blooms in a vibrant, glowing orange. This variety is specifically bred for improved heat tolerance, allowing it to bloom longer into the summer than other Calendula types. Also known as "Pot Marigold," its resin-rich petals are edible and widely used in soothing salves, teas, and as a colorful garnish for salads and soups.

TIPS: Calendula is very easy to grow and can be direct-seeded as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring. It prefers cooler temperatures but the Pacific Beauty series will withstand mid-summer heat better than most. Deadhead regularly to encourage continuous blooming, or allow some flowers to go to seed, as this variety is a reliable self-seeder for the following year.
