FAQ about Calendula – White

What kind of soil suits calendula best?
Calendula thrives in well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0 and tolerates most soil types, even fairly poor ground. Avoid soil that stays wet. Overly rich soil gives plenty of leaves but fewer flowers.
How often should calendula be watered?
Water moderately, about two or three times a week in normal conditions, and more often in hot weather and in pots. The soil should be moist but not wet. Water at the base to prevent mildew.
Does calendula need deadheading?
Yes, regular deadheading is the key to a long flowering season. Cut each faded flower back to the next bud or pair of leaves, and the plant will keep flowering until the frosts.
Which pests and diseases can affect calendula?
Aphids and thrips sometimes attack, but rarely seriously. Powdery mildew can appear in late summer in damp weather and with poor air circulation, so avoid overcrowding and overwatering.
Can calendula be overwintered?
Calendula, or pot marigold, is an annual and dies after flowering, so it is not overwintered. Collect seeds from ripe flower heads in autumn and sow them the following spring, although it often self-seeds too. The petals are edible and can be dried.
