How to Plant and Care for Pacific Beauty Yellow Calendula Seeds

Starting Seeds

  • Indoors: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Use a well-draining seed-starting mix and sow seeds ¼ inch deep. Keep the soil moist and place in a location with temperatures around 65-75°F (18-24°C). Germination occurs within 7-14 days.
  • Outdoors: Direct sow seeds in the garden after the last frost date. Ensure soil is loose and well-draining.

Transplanting

When seedlings are 2-3 inches tall and all risk of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil for best results.

Watering

Calendula prefers consistently moist soil but does not tolerate waterlogged conditions. Water deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells, while avoiding overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.

Lighting

Pacific Beauty Yellow Calendula thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. In hotter climates, providing some afternoon shade helps prolong the blooming period.

Fertilizing

Fertilize sparingly with a balanced fertilizer. Over-fertilizing can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.

Harvesting and Uses

Harvesting Blooms

Pick flowers as soon as they are fully open. Regular harvesting encourages more blooms and extends the flowering season. Use clean scissors to cut the stems just above a leaf node.

Edible and Medicinal Uses

  • Add petals to salads, soups, or rice dishes for a touch of color and mild flavor.
  • Dry the petals for teas, oils, or homemade skin-care remedies like balms and creams.

Perfect For:

  • Cut Flower Gardens: Long-lasting blooms for vibrant floral arrangements.
  • Edible Gardens: Petals for culinary and herbal uses.
  • Pollinator Gardens: Attracts bees and butterflies.
  • Container Gardening: Ideal for patios and balconies.
