Planting Instructions

• Seed Preparation:
  Calendula seeds do not require special preparation. However, soaking them overnight can sometimes help speed up germination.

• Sowing:

  • Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date in spring or in early fall.
  • Press seeds lightly into the soil or cover them with a thin layer of soil (1/4 inch deep).

• Germination:

  • Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs within 7-14 days.

• Transplanting:

  • If starting indoors, sow seeds in biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance when transplanting.
  • Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 2-3 inches tall and the soil has warmed.
  • Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation.

• Care and Maintenance:

  • Water young plants regularly until they are established, then water during dry periods.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming.
  • Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Protect plants from aphids and slugs, which can occasionally be attracted to calendula.

Happy Gardening!
