Growing Non-GMO Pacific Beauty Mixture Calendula Flower Seeds

Plant seeds outdoors directly into the garden soil. Do not plant outside until after the danger of frost has passed. Water in the seeds with a mister. Optionally, begin the seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the frost date for earlier blooms. When the seedlings have at least two true leaves, harden off and then transplant outdoors according to the spacing guidelines provided. For continuous blooms all summer, sow multiple batches 14-30 days apart.

Blooming can be expected in the first growing season, about 6-8 weeks after germination. Plant in a sunny location with moderately rich soil. They even grow freely in rocky and disturbed areas. If you wish to inhibit spreading, remove the flower stalks after flowering to limit seed production. Pacific Beauty Mixture Calendula has low to moderate water requirements and does best when divided every 2-3 years. Fertilization is usually not necessary unless the leaves look yellow and blooming slows.
