Calendula (Double Orange) produces bright double orange blooms with layered petals that give a rich, cheerful display. It grows well in cool to mild weather, prefers full sunlight with light afternoon shade in hotter areas, and is suitable for 6-8 inch pots, borders, garden beds, and cut flower arrangements. Native to Southern Europe and the Mediterranean region, it became popular worldwide for its long blooming season, easy growth, and traditional use as both an ornamental and useful garden flower.
