Notes
'Candyman Orange' calendula (Calendula officinalis 'Candyman Orange') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator gardens. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It forms a mounding clump about 12 inches tall and wide, and butterflies and bees visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Flowers appear in spring, summer, and autumn.
Pairs well with Cosmos, Love-in-a-mist, and Aster.
