Calendula - Bronze Beauty

Cup shaped flowers on long stems have soft peach and copper upper petals with a deep cranberry striping on the lower petals. Blossoms are a little smaller than most calendulas and look a little more delicate in the garden or vase. Our 2023 patch sounded like a symphony with all the pollinators buzzing about. Flowers are edible and have a myriad of medicinal and cosmetic uses. Deer and rabbits seem to leave them alone.
