Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Calendula seeds generally do not require special preparation. However, you can soak the seeds in water for a few hours before planting to help with germination.

Sowing:

Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date in spring or early summer.
Scatter seeds over prepared soil and lightly press them into the soil surface.
Space seeds about 12-18 inches apart or as directed on the seed packet.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Germination usually occurs within 5-10 days, depending on soil temperature and conditions.

Transplanting:

If starting indoors, sow seeds in biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance during transplanting.
Transplant seedlings outdoors when they have 2-3 true leaves and after the danger of frost has passed.
Space plants according to mature plant size to allow for proper air circulation and growth.

Care and Maintenance:

Water young plants regularly, especially during dry periods, to encourage strong root development.
Once established, calendula is relatively drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering.
Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming and prevent self-seeding.

Happy Gardening!
