What is calendula?

Calendula

Tired of the same old marigolds? Why not try a very old cultivar, the calendula. Calendula grows very easily from seed as an annual. It will reward you with beautiful daisy-like blooms in a wide range of reds, oranges and yellows. Calendula starts blooming around the end of June and continues through September, if dead headed regularly. The petals are edible and beautiful in salads and on wedding cakes.
