Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Calendula seeds generally do not require any special preparation. However, you can soak them overnight in lukewarm water to soften the seed coat and potentially speed up germination.
Sowing:
Direct sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date in your area. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep directly into well-prepared soil.
Germination:
Keep the soil consistently moist until germination occurs, which usually takes 7-14 days.
Transplanting:
If starting indoors, sow seeds in biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance during transplanting. Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 2-3 inches tall and after the risk of frost has passed. Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
Care and Maintenance:
Water young plants regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming. Calendula is generally pest-resistant but keep an eye out for aphids or spider mites, which can occasionally affect the plants. Harvest flowers regularly to encourage new blooms and to use in culinary or medicinal preparations.
Happy Gardening!
