Notes
'Pacific Beauty' calendula (Calendula officinalis 'Pacific Beauty') is an annual for borders, containers, cut flowers, and pollinator gardens. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The mounding plants bear fragrant flowers that attract butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Autumn Beauty sunflower, Empress of India nasturtium, and Red fescue.
