Calendula ‘Resina’ (Calendula officinalis) – Seed AS

60-65 days

“A very fine strain of calendula for medicinal use, and as a self-sowing, short-lived perennial flower. Highly productive plants produce medium-sized flowers with two rows of resin-rich petals. Plants have either soft orange or bright yellow flowers with small centers. Fairly hardy in our climate, Resina often overwinters to produce very early blooms in the spring and even an occasional bloom in the dead of winter if grown in a sheltered location. We love to sprinkle our salads with their edible, aromatic petals. The rich, soothing properties noticeably soften the skin simply from picking flowers. Often called Pot Marigold in England.”
