Calendula

The bright, sunny blooms of calendulas have been included in gardens for centuries. Bees and butterflies love calendula blossoms; the edible petals add color and a mild, peppery flavor when tossed into salads.

In the mild temperatures of spring and fall is when Calendulas thrive. Very easy to grow from seed, Calendulas are hardy annuals that tolerate temperatures well below freezing, and will often overwinter in zones 8 and above.
