Calendula Pacific Beauty

Also known as pot marigold due to its compact size and bright cheery yellow blooms. This is most often used for its medicinal properties. The dried petals are used as a healing skin salve and is a great starter plant if you are just starting to dabble in herbalism. The bees love it as well. Good option for container or Greenstalk gardening but just as comfortable in a raised bed.

Good to start from seed in these months:

North Florida: March-April, September-October

Central Florida: March, November-December

South Florida: December-February
