I started growing calendula from seeds in pots this February. I am in SW Florida zone 9b. They are now starting to bloom flowers it's April 10, 2023. I'm glad I found your video because I think I was beginning to over water them. The leaves were turning yellow. After watching your video, I just moved my 2 potted plants over where I grow my aloe plants to protect them from getting too much water when it rains. It will be interesting to see how long they will continue to grow and bloom flowers during our summer heat. Thanks for the helpful tips.😊
I am growing Calendula this year, it's only my 2nd time to grow them. My 1st time was over a decade ago, so it's been a while. I plan on them doing multiple duties in the garden! ▪︎I want the flowers to look great. ▪︎ I want to harvest the flowers to make a skin oil. ▪︎ I want them to attract the pests away from my Dahlias. But since I've never grown Dahlias, I don't even know if the Dahlias need this help! However, just in case they do, the Calendula will be nearby, ready to do their job. Your Calendula looks GREAT! Mine is a bit late getting started, so I hope it will do as well as yours! Thanks for the video! 💛
I got the flashback mix but it was too late to sow before the Florida summer heat got to them. Can’t wait to grow them this fall. And the ones with the green center are gorgeous
I just discovered your channel looking for info on calendula. Im about to start it for the first time from seeds. This was very helpful, thank you. I look forward to exploring your videos. 😁❤
I’m in KY zone 6b as well. I’m in Sadieville. I guess I can plant them outside now April 22. Supposed to be cold-ish tonight about 44, I’m in a valley so for me 37.
Calendula is care free for me here in zone 8 Pacific west . Just toss them around anywhere, anytime and they will come out from spring to fall. I use them as cover crop and as a medicine for soil, plants and for me ❤
I think I will try winter sowing for next season. Oh my would I love a hoop house! We have a very wet fall and winter here. Powdery mildew is everywhere just waiting for a lack of air movement. Boom even my taracotta pots themselves are fully covered in it at times.
I winter sowed flowers for the first time ever this year. Calendula is one of them. I just need to know when to transplant them. I'm in Virginia zone 7a.
I considered growing calendula after seeing how they were doing for Roots and Refuge... But just to use for pest control (can't remember if they attract certain pests away from other things, or deter them from the area)... Maybe in the fall..
Mine usually stop blooming when the weather gets hotter, so I pull them out. Maybe I'll try making a fall planting in the future. Thanks so much for watching! :)
I sowed a few varieties last fall but lost nearly all my seedlings during the winter. I’m apparently in a zone 8a in Europe (we don’t really use that sort of classification), but the winter has been particularly cold (-10 C) and wet this year☹️
Great video and very informative. I live in Hawaii...zone 10 I think. I have double check. I want to grow these despite the fact they are cold weather. Do you have suggestions for container growing?
We had so much rain in New York with the last month that a lot of my calendula is turning black on the foliage, it’s getting some sort of mold or disease I guess, has anyone in the comments experience that or does anyone know if I should just cut back the plants, and saw them again
Hello, I’m in the same zone. Do you have a list of flowers you plant in the fall vs winter sowing? Do you winter sow some of the fall planted seeds to succession plant? I get confused haha
I heard they need darkness to germinate. Is this true? Is the dirt covering them enough darkness? Or is the darkness just another way of saying "a cooler temperature?"
I grew Calendula for the first time this year and they were so easy! I ran out of soil and only filled my pot about four inches but decided to sprinkle in some seeds anyway. But they grew! They’re so low maintenance.

I have a batch of calendula oil infusing on counter now. Love making calendula salve. I started seeds; will plant out in a couple weeks. 🥰
That's so exciting! I need to make some soap with them!
My first year growing calendula! Excited to get them in the garden! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for watching! :)

Thanks for the video! 💛
That sounds like a great plan! Thanks so much for watching! :)
You’ll want to grow dahlias ❤
Started with/2 -2 years ago I now have over 30 I’m sure❤
I love calendula! Kind of a simple flower, but just so beautiful and fluffy! I think I have 5-6 varieties going this year!
Fantastic! I think I may grow more next year, too! :)

Great video!!! Thank you for focusing on one flower from seed to vase. Would love to see more videos like this 🥰
Thanks so much for watching! :)
Calendula is so pretty! Yours look amazing!
Thanks so much for watching! :)
Gosh these are beautiful. I winter sow a few varieties based on your winter sowing tips

Really nice tips & growing experiences. Thanks for sharing.
They almost look like the scabiosa Zinnias, too! So pretty.
Thanks so much for watching! :)

I've been really struggling with it the last few years, too! Thanks so much for watching! :)

As soon as the soil can be worked. They're cold hardy.
I’m going to try WS Calendula this year. Thank you!!

Hooray! Good luck! :) :)
Beautiful! I will definitely grow some next year. Thank you for all the information. Will they boom all season?

can they thrive in hot weather/full sun?
do they like water or just dry like lavender?

You are my love my favorites Chanel.
Thanks for watching! :)

Can you cut these partially open and they will finish opening in a vase? Or does it stop opening when you cut it like dahlias?
Thank you so much for sharing this!
I heard they need darkness to germinate. Is this true? Is the dirt covering them enough darkness? Or is the darkness just another way of saying "a cooler temperature?"
Thank you!😊
Can you tell me what to do about calendula smut?
is it normal for my calendula flower to die when they first start flowering?

That's fantastic! Thanks so much for watching! :)
Can I put in in the ground directly I'm in Illinois and I order 3 pack of seeds maybe I'm too old late?
You can definitely direct sow! Good luck!
Good.
You have canna lilies and dahlias?
I don't have canna lilies, but I do grow dahlias. There are several videos about them here on the channel. Happy gardening!
comment for the algorithm. 😆
I planted some and it did not flower at all. It's just green leaves.
I heard that Calendula can re-seed in the garden like poppies.
They can definitely re-seed. Thanks so much for watching! :)
Thank you!
