Strawberry Blonde Calendula

---

Description
Calendula is an easy to grow annual that prefers the cooler temperatures of spring and fall, but is tough enough to make it through the summer with plenty of water. Long lasting blooms all year long! Strawberry Blonde is a beautiful variety that features splashes of pinks and yellows. The pedals of the flowers are edible and make a colorful garnish for salads or soups.
