Notes
'Sherbet Fizz' calendula (Calendula officinalis 'Sherbet Fizz') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and pollinator gardens. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Butterflies and bees visit the mounding blooms, which appear in spring, summer, and autumn. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Plants grow 12 to 24 inches tall.
Pairs well with Cosmos, Love-in-a-mist, and Ornamental onion.
