Calendula
Calendula officinalis
Bursting with color and a delicate scent.
This is the strain of calendula used in herbal preparations. Its blooms are golden and profuse, and its scent when brushed in the garden or crumbled in the hand is lovely and clean and cool. This soothing herb has a delicate smell and can be used in herbal preparations for burns or skin irritations. Also known as "pot marigold," the bright, rounded, golden blooms, make it easy to see why.
Plant in a location where its beauty can be appreciated. Calendula will bloom all summer and will self sow its fascinatingly-shaped seeds.
