Calendula 'Orange King'

These are annual plants that flower in the season they are sown, with large, bright orange double flowers carried on straight stems with bright green foliage. In my garden they bloom all summer, happily self-sowing themselves and providing more plants the following year. Great for borders or pots. For the more adventurous the petals can be incorporated into salads. Pack size: 150 seeds. April to September.

Care advice

These are really easy to grow. Sow the seeds outdoors where you want them to flower between and March and May and you will get blooms anytime between June and September. Or sow them in late summer (August or September) for blooms the following year from late spring onwards. Instructions are on the back of the packet.
