Notes
'Winter Wonders Amber Arctic' calendula (Calendula officinalis 'Winter Wonders Amber Arctic') is an annual for borders, containers, and low maintenance beds. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, which open in spring, summer, and autumn. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
Pairs well with Cosmos, Love-in-a-mist, and Ornamental onion.
