Featuring vibrant, clear orange blooms reminiscent of gerberas, this plant is known for its high resin content, making it valuable for medicinal use. The flowers, measuring 2 to 3.5 inches, are commonly referred to as pot marigold. An easy to grow plant that tolerated dry conditions.
Edible Flowers: The petals can be enjoyed fresh or dried in "flower confetti," soups, soufflés, rice dishes, baked goods, and as a garnish for desserts. Calendula is a favorite for adding color to salad mixes, with a tangy, slightly bitter flavor. Be sure to remove the petals from the flower base before consuming, as the base can be quite bitter.
