'Pacific Beauty Mix Calendula' (Calendula officinalis 'Pacific Beauty Mix Calendula') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out 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. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. The fragrant flowers draw butterflies and bees.

Pairs well with Blue Horizon flossflower, Aster, and Zinnia.
