description for "Herbs: Calendula officinalis"
Calendula is a cold-hardy two -oot plant whose orange-yellow double-flower petals are used in medicinal salves--great for soothing those dry chapped gardening hands! Reseeding annual. In mild winter climates, sow for fall and winter color. Aster-like blooms from spring all the way through autumn. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
