Sowing Instructions

 

Indoors or Outdoors:

Sow seeds 1 cm deep in trays or directly into prepared beds. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle, spacing 30 cm apart. Water regularly and deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering.

 

 

Growing On:

Calendula prefers sunny, open sites and tolerates poor soils. For continuous colour, sow in succession every few weeks. Petals are edible—harvest fresh and use sparingly.

 

 

Calendula Funky Stuff delivers vibrant colour, edible blooms, and quirky charm in a low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly annual.

A standout choice for playful planting schemes and summer cheer.
