Bronzy-orange petals fade to a delicate light pink, artfully contrasting with the yellow base and maroon back. Add the edible petals to salads and sandwiches or use as a garnish for a pretty touch.

- KatherineVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 starsMar 30, 2026Almost 100% Germination Success!
Just wanted to share the germination success rate of the Zeolights and Resina calendula seeds this year. They were started in late February in the greenhouse here in zone 6b. I planted one seed per cell in a 36 cell seed container and now just a month later, I’m happy to say that every single seed sprouted minus two, making it almost a 100% germination rate. Each seedling is now about 2 inches tall and looking very strong and healthy. I think this is such a great example of the quality of Botanical Interest seeds. They have been my absolute favorite go- to seed company for 15 years and I couldn’t recommend them more.
