Although commonly known as pot marigold, calendula is different from the common marigold (Tagetes spp.). It is, however, part of the same Asteracea family, along with daisies and chrysanthemums, with whom it shared the same daisy-like flower appearance.The common name of pot marigold derives because the gold flowers that bloomed during the festivals of the Virgin Mary in Renaissance times (mary + gold = marigold) were often used in cooking. Today, gardeners simply grow these plants for their cheery flowers and profuse blooming habit. Though they most commonly are seen in varieties with yellow and orange flowers, there are also more subtle shades of pink and cream available. Calendula is commonly used in annual flower beds and container gardening.How to Grow CALENDULA from SeedCalendula is very easy to grow from seeds or transplants when placed in full sun and planted in ordinary fertile garden soil that is well-drained. Purchased seedlings should be planted after the danger of frost has passed; seeds can be sown just before the last frost date in the spring. Pinching back young plants will promote more compact, bushy growth and prevent the plants from becoming leggy. Deadhead the old flowers to encourage reblooming.LightCalendula generally prefers full sun, but in hotter areas, it sometimes languishes during the hottest months unless it receives some afternoon shade. SoilLike most members of the daisy family, calendula needs a well-drained soil high in organic material. Dense, wet soils can cause the roots to rot. This plant tolerates a wide range of soil pH but prefers a slightly acidic to neutral soil. WaterWater frequently until the plants are established, but mature plants thrive on only occasional watering. Avoid too much water with these plants. Temperature and HumidityCalendula prefers mild summer temperatures and may die away by the end of summer in very hot climates. FertilizerCalendula does not need much in the way of feeding, and in fertile garden soil, it requires no additional feeding at all. Marginal soils may require feeding with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer, but over-feeding can make the plants leggy and spindly. Container plants do require monthly feeding with diluted balanced fertilizer. SEED STORING Store your seeds in a cool, dry and dark location.
