Planting Instructions

• Seed Preparation:
  Calendula seeds generally do not require special preparation. However, soaking the seeds in water for a few hours before planting can help with germination.

• Sowing:

  • Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date in spring or early summer.
  • Scatter seeds over prepared soil and lightly press them into the soil surface.
  • Space seeds about 12-18 inches apart, or as directed on the seed packet.

• Germination:

  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
  • Germination usually occurs within 5-10 days, depending on soil temperature and conditions.

• Transplanting:

  • If starting indoors, sow seeds in biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance during transplanting.
  • Transplant seedlings outdoors when they have 2-3 true leaves and after the danger of frost has passed.
  • Space plants according to their mature size to allow for proper air circulation and growth.

• Care and Maintenance:

  • Water young plants regularly, especially during dry periods, to encourage strong root development.
  • Once established, calendula is relatively drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming and prevent self-seeding.

Happy Gardening!
