Orange King Calendula

Large, double calendula flowers in a beautiful shade of brilliant orange make this variety a true king of calendulas. It is the ultimate “plant it and forget it” hardy annual, thriving in poor soils and offering exceptional drought tolerance. Beyond its beauty, Orange King is a functional garden hero: the nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for bees and hoverflies, while the vibrant, peppery petals can be harvested to garnish salads, decorate cakes or colour rice. Approx. 50 seeds per pack. Botanical name: Calendula officinalis Grown by: Chris Vernon
