Notes

'Flashback Mix' calendula (Calendula officinalis 'Flashback Mix') is an herb for borders, containers, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Butterflies and bees visit the fragrant burgundy and bicolor blooms.

Pairs well with Dukat dill, Santo cilantro, and Favorite Berries yarrow.
