HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow Calendula Pacific beauty flower seeds in fall or early spring, planting 1/4" below the surface. To start seed indoors, plant 1/4" deep in individual pots or a flat; keep evenly moist and at a temperature of 60-65 degrees until germination, which should take place within 5-10 days. Transplant or thin seedlings.
Growing: This plant can adapt to almost any soil, but prefers well-drained, poor or average soil. Since it prefers cool temperatures, it will appreciate filtered shade. Once established, it does not need regular watering; for the best blooms it should not be over-watered. To keep the plant bushy and neat, occasionally pinch off the tops of the developing stalks. If deadheaded regularly, it will produce profuse blossoms all season long; in hotter regions, it may stop blooming in the heat of summer and begin again in fall. This plant will readily reseed itself. This plant can also be grown in containers.
Harvesting: For fresh flowers, cut the stems long and place them in water immediately. For culinary use, cut flower heads that have just opened; spread them out away from direct sunlight to dry completely, turning them occasionally. When the flowers are crisp and dry, store them in an airtight container for up to a year. The dried petals can be used in place of saffron, or as a garnish to add color and spice to dishes.
Seed Saving: When the developing seed turns from green to pale tan and easily comes loose from the head, remove the seed heads. Spread them out to dry away from direct sunlight, then thresh them to separate the seed from the husk. Store Calendula Pacific beauty flower seeds in a cool, dry place.

calendula is one of my winter staples. i am growing fiesta gitana and pac beauty this winter. i seeded these in early sept, they germinated in 3-6 days, and i have transplanted to 806 inserts (small 6 pack). in 3 weeks they have rooted to the bottom, and will be plantable in 2-3 more weeks. no bloom yet. germination rate was very high and the plants are healthy and strong. i have 37 flats of 48 count for personal consumption in my yard for this winter. in years past i have collected the seed myself but everwilde has shown me the cost efficacy of buying by the quarter pound.
