I love calendula, they’re such cheerful and easy to grow flowers.
This is a new one in the garden this year – part of my 2021 gardening trials. I was given the seed by Chiltern Seeds and it’s really rather good. I like the soft shading on the petals.
So far, the flowers that have opened have been this soft orange but the description promises shades of creamy-yellow and pinky-apricots. Let’s hope I get a good mix.
