Description
Grow a garden filled with Pacific Beauty Yellow Calendula, from freshly harvested Calendula officinalis flower seeds. Pacific Beauty Yellow will produce 2.5 inch, bright yellow flowers, atop attractive foliage. The leaves are oblong and lance shaped. Each Pacific Beauty Yellow Calendula plant will reach a mature height of roughly 12 to 24 inches tall. The blooms themselves consist of rows of fairly spaced petals, resembling a zinnia's formation.
Pacific Beauty Yellow is categorized as an annual flowering plant. Annuals will grow quickly from fresh flower seeds, bloom profusely through the summer months, and later die with the first frost. If seeds are collected from the Pacific Beauty Calendula, new plants can be established the following spring. Calendula plants can also readily self seed, by dropping their seeds to the bare ground beneath. Although Pacific Beauty Yellow, as well as other Calendula, won't require much maintenance, we do recommend deadheading the plants. Deadheading, or the removal of old, spent blooms will prolong bloom time, up until the end of the Autumn season. If you don't deadhead your Calendula blooms, the plants are known to go directly to seed, thus ending the flowering cycle.
Pacific Beauty Yellow Calendula is a versatile, flowering plant. They can be grown directly in the garden, in flower beds, raised beds, along fences, driveways & walkways, or even in pots and containers as well. Calendula, also referred to as "Pot Marigold," is an edible flowering plant, which can be added to salads or enjoyed as a garnish. The Pot Marigold is also used for its oils & is often times used as a medicinal herb as well.
