Planting Information:
Calendula can be direct-seeded outdoors in cool temperatures, or started indoors. Seeds should be planted ¼” deep, and kept well watered while awaiting germination which should occur within 7-14 days. If starting indoors, allow plants to grow to a height of 3-4” and show first leaves before setting outside.
