Herb Calendula Alpha produces vibrant orange blooms resembling gerberas, with high resin content valued for medicinal and therapeutic applications. Known as pot marigold or Scotch marigold, this versatile herb has been cultivated for centuries across European gardens. Its edible petals deliver a tangy, slightly bitter flavor that enhances salads, soups, baked goods, and desserts—simply remove petals from the flower base before use to control intensity. Beyond culinary applications, calendula petals are traditionally steeped for herbal infusions and incorporated into natural skincare preparations. These organically grown, Non-GMO heirloom seeds germinate reliably at 80% or higher and reach full bloom in approximately 52 days, making them ideal for succession planting throughout the growing season. The plants thrive in full sun and well-draining soil, attracting pollinators while naturally repelling certain garden pests. Packaged in sustainable materials, these seeds reflect a commitment to environmentally responsible gardening practices.
