Thompson & Morgan Calendula Fruit Twist 1 Seed Packet (60 Seeds), Yellow

A fun fact about the Calendula fruit twist collection is that some parts of the flowers are edible! The light and peppery taste of the flowers themselves can be added to breads for a little bit of extra flavour and colouring and they can also be used as a substitute for saffron when colouring rice dishes. The Calendulas can be sown in September for an eye- catching late spring display or sown in spring for summer flowering. Sow calendula seeds outdoors where they are to grow from April to May. Choose a position in full sun on well drained soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Sow seeds thinly, at a depth of 1cm (1/2") in drills spaced 30cm (12") apart and cover seed with its own depth of soil to exclude light. Water the ground regularly, especially during dry periods. Germination usually takes 5-10 days. When calendula seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them out to 30cm (12") apart. Alternatively, sow indoors from March to April at a temperature of 18-23C (65-73F). When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow them on in cooler conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. For winter or early spring flowering, sow calendula in late summer or early autumn and grow plants on in a cool greenhouse or conservatory. Product Specifications: .
