Comments
Always seem to have lots of problems with Calendula’s, so I’m not real crazy about them; I personally don’t like the sticky stems – can we breed those out?; Orange does not sell early summer in N.H. Calendula are in poor demand; Thought it would have a black center because of its name, but just the usual run-of-the-mill calendula emerged!; Grew like crazy until they got tired at the end of August.; Tolerates light frost 1-2 C; Need special market to sell these – not a great color generally.
