How to Grow Calendula ‘Pacific Beauty Mix’

Sow seeds directly outdoors from March to May, or in late summer to autumn for earlier flowering the following year.

Sow seeds thinly into prepared soil and cover lightly (approx. 1 cm deep). Germination usually occurs within 7–14 days.

Grow in a sunny position with well-drained soil. Calendula will tolerate poorer soils but performs best with moderate fertility.

Thin seedlings to allow good spacing. Water during dry spells and deadhead regularly to encourage continuous flowering.

Care Tips

Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming

Sow little and often for a continuous display

Avoid overfeeding, which can reduce flowering

Allow some flowers to set seed for natural reseeding
