Everwilde Farms - 1 lb Fiesta Gitana Mixed Calendula Garden Flower Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

A frost-hardy annual, this bushy clump-forming plant will flower all summer. The plants also give off a lovely Calendula fragrance that acts as a natural mosquito repellant. The easy-to-grow annual is attractive as a cut flower or a garnish. This old-fashioned flower has a long history as both an ornamental garden plant and as an herb. When dried, the petals of Calendula flowers provide a culinary substitute for saffron; in times past, they were used to give a rich color to cheese or butter. Medicinal uses included treatments for measles and smallpox, as well as for dressing wounds on the battlefield. As well as being the traditional flower for October birthdays, calendula symbolizes sorrow and sympathy.
