kolkata orchid online CALENDULA officinalis Seed(100 per packet)

Description

Bright yellow and orange flowers, historically used for medicinal and culinary purposes, result from easy calendula care when growing this simple flower. Commonly called the pot marigold (Calendula officinalis), the calendula flower has long been a staple in British cottage gardens. Petals of the calendula flower are used in cooking and were used as yellow coloring in cheeses and butters in centuries past. When used in stews, broths and salads, petals of the calendula flower add a spicy taste similar to saffron to many dishes. All parts of calendula plants are useful in many ways. The plant is said to stimulate the immune system and is currently used as an ingredient in many cosmetics. Flowers and leaves of the calendula may be dried and stored for later use. In the vegetable garden, calendula draws aphids away from valuable plants. While uses of calendula plants are diverse, growing calendula in the flower or herb garden is an optimum use of this attractive plant. Calendula plants are frost tolerant and somewhat cold hardy and add long-lasting color and beauty in a flower bed or container.Seed Type: FlowerSuitable For: OutdoorOrganic Plant SeedSeed For: CALENDULA officinalisFlowering Plant: 1Brand: kolkata orchid onlineModel Name: CALENDU100Quantity: 100 per packetCommon Name: CALENDULA officinalisFlowering Plant: YesType of Seed: FlowerOrganic: YesScientific Name: Calendula officinalisUses: flowerSoil Nutrient Requirements: fertilizer and waterSowing Method: general
