Notes
'Neon' calendula (Calendula officinalis 'Neon') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and containers. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It forms a mounding plant that grows 24 to 36 inches tall, and butterflies and bees visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Aster, Love-in-a-mist, and Cosmos.
