How to Grow Calendula Seeds – Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Choose the Right Time:
▪ Outdoors: Sow calendula seeds directly in your garden seeds after the last frost in early spring. These heirloom seeds are ideal for creating companion planting setups in your butterfly garden.
▪ Indoors: For an early start, sow calendula seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.
2. Select the Planting Location:
▪ Sunlight: Calendula flowers prefer full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in cold climate zones.
▪ Soil: Well-drained soil works best for calendula seeds, though they are tolerant of poor soils. Rich soil will yield more beautiful flowers for your medicinal herb garden.
3. Sowing the Seeds:
▪ Outdoor Sowing: Scatter the calendula seeds directly on the surface of the soil and cover lightly with 1/4 inch of soil or compost.
▪ Indoor Sowing: Fill seed trays with seed-starting mix and sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged for optimal growth of your heirloom seeds.
4. Watering:
▪ Keep the soil evenly moist during germination (7-14 days). Once established, Calendula flowers are drought-tolerant but benefit from regular watering to help bloom continuously.
5. Thinning the Seedlings:
▪ Thin seedlings to about 12 inches apart to ensure healthy growth in your wildflower seeds garden or border flowers arrangement.
6. Care and Maintenance:
▪ Deadheading: Regularly remove spent blooms to prolong the blooming period. This will also help your calendula flowers continue producing throughout the season.
▪ Fertilizing: Calendula doesn’t need much fertilization. A balanced fertilizer once a month can enhance growth, though these easy to grow seeds flourish naturally.
7. Pest and Disease Management:
▪ While generally pest-resistant, Calendula flowers can occasionally attract aphids. Use natural insecticidal soap if necessary to protect your pollinator garden.
8. Harvesting:
▪ Harvest your calendula flowers for culinary, medicinal, or ornamental use. These edible flowers are perfect for natural remedies, adding to herbal remedies, and enhancing the beauty of your healing garden.
9. Self-Seeding:
▪ Calendula flowers often self-seed, meaning they can return year after year, adding lasting beauty to your organic gardening space.
