Pot marigold, scientifically named Calendula officinalis, is a multi-purpose annual flower with stable germination rate and excellent cold resistance. It grows well in full sun and loose, well-drained fertile soil, suitable for sowing in spring and autumn. The bright orange and yellow daisy-like flowers have both ornamental and medicinal value, which can be used for landscape border decoration, dried flower making, herbal tea and skin care raw materials. It has a long flowering period, strong adaptability, and rarely suffers from serious pests and diseases. Daily management only needs to keep the soil slightly moist and remove withered flowers regularly to encourage repeated blooming. It is ideal for garden flower beds, roadside green belts, mixed flower landscapes and balcony container potted ornamental planting.
