Notes
'Fiesta Gitana' pot marigold (Calendula officinalis 'Fiesta Gitana') is an annual for borders, containers, cut flower beds, 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 is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It forms a mounding clump that reaches 12 to 24 inches tall, and butterflies and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Cosmos, Love-in-a-mist, and Aster.
