Calendula - Orange or Yellow (Calendula officinalis) In historic times calendula were commonly referred to as marigolds and even today they are called Pot Marigolds. The Calendula has been used for centuries for its culinary, medicinal and ornamental attributes. Fearing Burr gave instructions on how to dry the petals in his book Field and Garden Vegetables of America. “The flowers are gathered when fully expanded, divested of their calyxes, and spread in a light, airy, shaded situation until they are thoroughly dried.” The dried flowers are used in stews and soups and the yellow or orange flowers are ornamental in the garden. Calendula is also used medicinally to treat skin problems and minor burns. Ht: 1’ tall. Annual. (25 seeds/pkt) Please specify orange or yellow on the order form.
