FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

When can I grow Calendula in the UK?

Grow Calendula in spring, or in autumn for early flowers the following year in mild areas. It is easy to grow in sunny borders and containers.

Where is the best place to grow Calendula?

Calendula grows best in full sun and ordinary, well-drained garden soil. It can tolerate poorer ground but may become leafy rather than flower heavily in very rich soil.

Why has my Calendula stopped flowering?

Calendula slows down when faded flowers are left to set seed. Deadhead regularly and water in prolonged dry weather to encourage more blooms.

Can I grow Calendula in pots?

Yes. Calendula grows well in pots and window boxes. Use a container with drainage holes and place it in full sun.

Does Calendula self-seed?

Yes. Calendula often self-seeds around the garden. Leave some flowers to form seed if you want new plants, or deadhead to keep it contained.
