FREE: Calendula flower seeds!

The listing, Calendula flower seeds! has ended.

At least 100 skillfully harvested seeds from my own happy flowers. Bright golden to orange in color,flowers, these guys thrived in last summer's LA heat. The seeds germinate better after 6 months of storage, so they're ready to go!.
Calendula is easily grown from seed and may be sown directly in the garden from early spring on into summer, with plenty of time left to get a good harvest of flowers. Tolerant of poor soils, calendula will grow in partial shade or full sun. The plant requires regular watering. Sometimes known as “pot marigold,” calendula is easily grown in pots on the doorstep or in window boxes. Ideal for children, the seeds are large and easily handled, and germination is almost assured even if planted by the inexperienced gardener. Sow about ¼ inch deep and pat down the row. The first flowers are produced only 40 to 50 days after seed germination.

I’ve been asked if these guys come back year after year. Unfortunately they do not. Calendula’s are an annual. For a repeat performance, you’ll need to reseed them in about a year.

Do they have a scent? Not particularly. Calendulas are known more for their brilliance in color. Being an herb, they do hold certain medicinal properties. Calendula scented products, soap for instance, are usually infused with another headily scented herb. Alone, calendula scented soap would be described as having a ‘clean’ scent. ;)

I'm going out of town, so this is a short 3day auction, the winner will have their seeds promptly!! Happy bidding! :)
