Notes
'Ivory Princess' calendula (Calendula officinalis 'Ivory Princess') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and containers. 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. The gold flowers attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It forms a mounding plant 24 to 36 inches tall and blooms in spring, summer, and autumn.
Pairs well with Aster, Love-in-a-mist, and Ornamental onion.
