Description
Calendula is a flowering plant in the Daisy family. Growing to 80 cm tall, its leaves are spirally arranged, 5-18 cm long, and slightly hairy. The flower heads are 3-7 cm across, with ray and disc florets. Calendula is widely cultivated and can be grown easily in sunny locations in most soils, though plants do best if planted in rich, well-drained soil. Although perennial, it is commonly treated as an annual, particularly in colder regions where its winter survival is poor and in hot summer locations where it does not thrive. Plants typically bloom quickly from seed (in under two months) in bright yellows, golds, and oranges. Calendula florets are edible and are often used to add color to salads, as a garnish, or in place of saffron. Flowers have also been used as a medicinal herb and a fabric dye. Leaves can be made into a poultice that is believed to help scratches and shallow cuts heal faster and prevent infection.
