A hardy, easy-to-grow edible flower, valued for its bright colour, mild flavour, and long flowering season.
 
Calendula, also known as pot marigold, is a versatile edible flower grown for its vibrant orange and yellow petals and mild, slightly peppery flavour. The petals are commonly used to add colour to salads, rice dishes, butters, and garnishes, making it a practical and attractive addition to the kitchen garden.
Grown by hand from seed at our eco-farm, these plants are certified organic and raised using sustainable methods to support strong, healthy growth. Available as either jumbo plug plants for earlier planting or 9 cm pot plants for later planting, Calendula suits a wide range of planting schedules and garden setups.
 
Calendula is well suited to Irish growing conditions, performing reliably outdoors in beds, borders, containers, and raised beds. It is a long-flowering plant that continues to produce blooms over an extended period when picked regularly.
