Dwarf pot marigold’s (Calendula officinalis) sunny annual blooms were present in almost every grandma’s garden. No wonder, since they are very easy in cultivation and ornamental at the same time. This dwarf variety mix grows 35 cm tall, what makes it perfect both for borders and planting in pots and boxes. Dwarf pot marigold will add slightly old-fashioned, rustic charm to vegetable beds and herbaries. Flowers take on different colours, from creamy-white to intensely orange, you will also find yellow and apricot-coloured specimens among them. They appear continuously from spring until late autumn. Fresh or dried petals may be added to tea, salads and warm dishes.

Pot marigold seeds are sown in the spring directly to the permanent site in 20-25 cm spacings. Marigolds grow rapidly and bloom after approximately 50 days. These undemanding plants that are easy in cultivation require watering in longer drought periods. They prefer sunny and partially shady sites with fertile, well-drained soils. Regularly fertilised plants will reward you with long and abundant blooming and large, impressive inflorescences.
