Notes
'Bull's Eye' calendula (Calendula officinalis 'Bull's Eye') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator gardens. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. Flowers open in spring, summer, and autumn on mounding plants 12 to 24 inches tall.
Pairs well with Cosmos, Love-in-a-mist, and Aster.
