Calendula - Alpha

Annual flowers bloom heavily in spring— fall, too, if you deadhead. These are enthusiastic re-seeders, so leave a few seedheads for next season's patch and go easy on the mulch. Incredibly easy, pretty— and fairly drought-resistant,too. Single to double flowers in many shades of orange are high in resin. Perfect for soothing hand creams and lotions.
