About Calendulas
Calendulas, more commonly known as "Pot Marigolds," have been a popular plant for centuries due to their versatility. The blooms are edible and make a great addition to salads, and the petals can also be dried and used in place of saffron. Calendula oil derived from the plant is still used today in herbal and natural medicines to treat both dry or irritated skin and even upset stomachs. Planting calendulas in your vegetable garden has an added benefit of repelling common garden pests, rodents, and insects.
