Planting Instructions

• Seed Preparation:
  Calendula seeds generally do not require any special preparation before planting.

• Sowing:

  • Direct sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date in spring.
  • Alternatively, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost to achieve earlier blooms.
  • Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-prepared soil.

• Germination:

  • Keep the soil consistently moist until the seeds germinate, which typically occurs within 7-14 days.

• Transplanting:

  • If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after they develop their first true leaves and the last frost has passed.
  • Space plants 12-18 inches apart to ensure proper air circulation and growth.

• Care and Maintenance:

  • Water plants regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid over-watering.
  • Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming and encourage new flowers.
  • Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Calendula is generally low-maintenance but may benefit from occasional pruning to maintain shape and encourage bushiness.

Happy Gardening!
