Calendula, Strawberry Blonde

A hot new head-turning beauty, Strawberry Blonde brings a charming glow to the garden, container, floral arrangements and even salads! Glowing creamy coral petals have cheery, contrasting bright red backs, and the well-branched, fast-growing plants produce loads of blooms. At 18–24 inches tall, the stems make great cut flowers for both fresh and dried applications. Glorious additions to salads and have so many medicinal benefits for skin. 
 
Calendula reseeds itself throughout the growing season and the seed is also easy to save. Just pull off the dried seed heads and sprinkle in other areas of your garden and/or share with friends and neighbors (you might want to do this anyway if you have decided you have enough growing!)
