Calendula

[Gnome_Czech]

I bought some seeds since my self sowing haven't come back in a few years. I used to get the bright orange flowers, but this variety has purple in it...I'm guessing it's still edible, since I bought it from a reputable source, but purple?

I'd love to get some ORANGE variety seeds.

I grow calendula in the annual garden and I also grow a few plants indoors hydroponically during the winter.

Those are certainly lush, healthy looking calendula, Jack! I am drying my flower petals, so I can try a recipe for a calendula salve, using beeswax and olive oil....

When I looked this plant up online I was amazed at how many uses this plant has.
