Notes
'Lady Godiva Yellow' calendula (Calendula officinalis 'Lady Godiva Yellow') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance beds. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and wide. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, which appear in spring, summer, and autumn.
Pairs well with Cosmos, Love-in-a-mist, and Ornamental onion.
