Calendula (Calendula Officinalis Fruit Twist) - This delightful dwarf Calendula has cheerful double, semi-double, and single flowers bloom prolifically in citrusy orange and yellow shades. Dwarf 6 inch plants spread to 8 inches wide. Blooms from late fall through spring in mild-winter areas, and from spring until midsummer in cooler climates.
Calendulas are one the fastest flowers to bloom from seeds often blooming in just two months. Another benefit of these plants is they are loved by beneficial insects. Petals can be used as fabric dye, are edible and are used medicinally as salves. The light peppery taste of the flowers can be added to breads for extra flavor with a touch of color. Can also be used as a substitute for saffron when coloring rice dishes.
