Calendula

Direct seed in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked or start indoors 3-4 weeks before transplant date. Sow seed .6 cm deep and space plants 20-30 cm apart in rows 45-60 cm apart. Flowering will be most prolific in cool weather but will continue throughout the summer with a flush of flowering in the cooler fall temperatures. Use for cut flowers or dry flower heads to be used in creams, soaps and medicinal preparations.
