Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is required for calendula seeds. They can be sown directly without soaking or scarifying.

Sowing:

Directly sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date.
Choose a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade.
Scatter seeds on the soil surface and lightly press them into the soil, as calendula seeds need light to germinate.
Space seeds 6-12 inches apart, depending on the desired density of plants.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 5-15 days, depending on soil temperature and conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period to aid in successful sprouting.

Transplanting:

Calendula is typically grown from direct seeding rather than transplanting. However, if starting indoors, sow seeds in biodegradable pots and transplant seedlings outdoors once they have several true leaves and the danger of frost has passed.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Calendula plants prefer moderate watering. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to prolong blooming and encourage new flower production.
Harvesting: Harvest calendula flowers regularly for fresh use or drying. Use the petals in salads, teas, or as a natural dye.
