Oh my! Is this not THE prettiest Calendula you've ever seen with its peachy-cream petals, bronze-ruby undersides & delicious dark eye? Bountifully blooms from Spring to Fall, especially if you cut it back when it gets leggy. Often overwinters for us lucky coastal folks! But hey, it self-sows readily anyway, so you'll always have fresh (and free) new plants each year! I think I must partner it with ruby-leaved Heu_chera 'Melting Fire' this Spring. Clay tolerant but best in rich soil. Nice in containers. Edible & medicinal. Deer resistant! To 18" high & wide.
