Calendula can be sown indoors for earlier bloom. Start seeds between March and April for blossoms in July. Germination takes five to 10 days in darkness at a soil temperature of about 70 degrees. Sow the seeds 1/4 inch deep and cover them with a light dusting of topsoil. For outdoor seeding, sow seeds in late May to mid-June.
