Wow - this gorgeous calendula bloomed from winter into late spring in San Diego County. I succession planted them indoors starting in early fall through winter and transplanted out. Beautiful sunset colors that change as the plant ages. Nice shape and perfect to grow either in pots or directly in the vegetable garden. Brings in the pollinators! I will grow these every year.

Really disappointed after reading so many good reviews. I did get calendula plants but they were the same single bloom orange ones I see elsewhere. I bought these because I thought they were unique. One flower was pale pinkish. I wish more of them were that color.
