Pot Marigold Seeds (Calendula officinalis) - more than just a summer flower
Pot marigolds (Calendula officinalis) are classic annual garden flowers with remarkably versatile qualities. Their bright blooms bring colour to beds from early summer through to autumn, while they are also considered robust, easy to care for and reliable to sow. Pot marigolds fit equally well into natural-style gardens and more structured beds and have been an integral part of garden culture for centuries.

Pot marigolds can be sown directly outdoors as soon as the soil is frost-free. In mild regions, they can also be sown in late summer or autumn and then overwinter as young plants. This places them among the so-called cool flowers, which use their growth advantage in spring and come into flower particularly early.
In addition to their ornamental value, pot marigolds are also valued in the garden for their positive influence on the soil. Their root growth can improve soil structure, and they are often used as companion plants in mixed plantings. This makes pot marigolds well suited for vegetable beds, raised beds and changing crop rotations.
As a traditional medicinal and cultural plant, pot marigold has a long history. Its flowers have been collected and used in many ways for generations, for example in home remedies or for making ointments and infused oils. Even today, Calendula officinalis is best known for its symbolic and cultural significance.
Pot marigold seeds are therefore a good choice for anyone looking for easy-care flowering plants, wishing to bring early colour to the garden and at the same time valuing classic garden plants with a long history.
