This elegant variety has delicate petals in creamiest pale lemon, with dark chocolate centres, sometimes green. Beautiful to use in design work, and great for relaxed summer weddings, and bridal bouquets.

An easy to grow cut-flower, the more you cut calendula the more they give. A backbone of the summer garden, they're cheerful and low maintenance.

The petals are edible and brighten up any salad. Can also be turned into a salve for tired skin.

Best sown under cover in autumn to get the biggest, most productive plants. Protect from hard frosts and plant out in spring.

Dib a little hole in each cell, twice the depth of the seed, then place a seed in each and cover them with compost. They benefit from a little warmth, around 21° C.

Direct sow in spring to flower in later summer. Or sow in modules and plant out.
