Notes
'Orange Button' calendula (Calendula officinalis 'Orange Button') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, 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. The orange flowers have rich color and good stem quality, so they work well in a vase. Bees and butterflies visit the fragrant blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first.
