| Positive | DMgardener | On Oct 7, 2008, DMgardener from Mount Orab, OH (Zone 6b) wrote: This selection of calendula is stunning!!! The plants are about three times taller than the greenhouse varieties, which is just the right height for my gardens. The orange/yellow bicolor even has a light orangy citrus scent. Also what I think is the best part is that they bloomed from mid-april to now and are still going! I have seeds of this plant for trade on my tradelists. | | Positive | rebecca101 | On Sep 26, 2007, rebecca101 from Madison, WI (Zone 5a) wrote: Great plant. Very easy to grow from seed, bright double flowers, non-stop blooming from June to past frost. The plant suffers a bit in the heat of summer - flowers get progressively smaller and not as lush looking as in spring. But then Fall comes and the flowers suddenly get large and lush again. I did deadhead regularly to keep bloom coming. This cultivar grew very large for me - 2.5-3 feet in full sun. | | Positive | ineedacupoftea | On Nov 17, 2005, ineedacupoftea from Grand Junction, CO (Zone 7a) wrote: This mix is usually short- about a foot in full sun. Cool weather brings on more double flowers. Keeping the plants well dead-headed makes them practically perennial!
I think I owe this plant in keeping me alive after last year's first frost; as it did so well for so long afterword. Now, if I could find the plant to bring me out of the post-frost blues this year... | | Positive | Scorpioangel | On Sep 19, 2005, Scorpioangel from Gold Hill, OR (Zone 7a) wrote: Freely self sowing. Bright color. A great plant for the herbal garden. Can help the sting of insect stings. They can tolerate a light frost. The petals are used to flavor soups, stews and salads. I especially like them in salads. |
