Calendula or Calendula officinalis, is a hardy annual, and member of the Asteraceae or Compositae family, which share a central disc surrounded by spoon-shaped petals. Notable species include daisy, arnica, Artemisia, chamomile, chrysanthemum, dandelion and Echinacea.
Also known as Pot Marigold, English Marigold, Poet’s Marigold, or Summer’s bride, the original species were contained to yellow and orange single blossoms, yet many new hybrids have been bred to develop a range of differing shades of apricot, orange and yellow, with double ring of petals, as well as plants of shorter stature for borders, and longer stems for the cutting garden.
Often mistaken for the more familiar French and African pom-pom flowers known as marigolds, (Tagetes), it is not directly related, yet both produce bright yellow and orange blossoms that add a sunny personality to the flower, herb or vegetable garden.
