Calendula Seeds | Calendula officinalis

Calendula is second to none when it comes to soothing and calming skin inflammation. A wonderful introductory plant to any budding herbalist, this easy-to-grow flower is extremely gentle but quite potent, with resins and terpenes that have shown strong antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory actions. Calendula has bright yellow to orange, sticky, resinous flowers and is in the Aster/Daisy/Sunflower family. Though commonly called “pot marigold”, calendula should not be confused with true “marigolds” in the genus Tagetes, which is considered safe to eat, but not medicinally equivalent to calendula.  Approximately 50 seeds, harvested for 2023 Grown using only compost, water, & organic fertilizer, our plants are never treated or sprayed with anything at all.    Lifecycle: Annual 40-50 days to maturity (can behave as a perennial in zone 8 and above) Region: Native to Eurasia Actions: Anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, astringent, vulnerary, antispasmodic, lymphatic, emmenagogue, antifungal.
