Notes

'Lady Godiva Orange' calendula (Calendula officinalis 'Lady Godiva Orange') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, and it attracts butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and wide.

Pairs well with Aster, Love-in-a-mist, and Cosmos.
