Frequently Asked Questions
Find helpful information about calendula flower colors, edible petals, and growing conditions.
Are calendula flowers edible, and how are they used?
Calendula petals from correctly identified, organically grown plants are commonly used as edible garnishes and in herbal preparations. They can add color to salads, soups, and other dishes. Use only flowers grown without unsuitable pesticides and avoid consuming them if you have a known allergy to plants in the daisy family.
Can calendula grow during summer, or does it prefer cool weather?
Calendula generally performs best in cool to mild weather. High temperatures can reduce flowering and cause plants to decline. In warmer climates, sow seeds during cooler seasons and provide partial afternoon shade when needed.
How do you harvest and save calendula seeds for next season?
Allow some calendula flowers to mature fully on the plant. After the petals fade, the seed heads develop curved, dry seeds. Collect them when they turn brown and dry, then separate and store the seeds in a cool, dry place in a labeled airtight container. Open-pollinated plants can produce seeds for future planting, although cross-pollination may affect offspring characteristics.
