  • Other Features And Applications Seeds can be sown directly in the garden, in the spring after danger of frost. Mark a row, and drop seeds every 6 inches, cover with ¼ – 1/2 “ soil, pat gently and water. Seeds should germinate within a week, and plants will blossom 6-8 weeks later.

    1. Timing: Sow Calendula FG Mix seeds directly outdoors in early spring after the last frost date. You can also start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date for an earlier start.

    2. Site Selection: Calendula thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Choose a well-draining location in your garden.

    3. Soil Preparation: Work the soil to a fine texture and remove any debris or weeds. Calendula prefers moderately fertile, well-draining soil.

    4. Sowing Seeds:

    • Rake the soil smooth and create shallow furrows with a depth of about 1/4 inch.
    • Scatter the Calendula FG Mix seeds evenly in the furrows and then cover them with a thin layer of soil.

    5. Watering:

    • Gently water the planted area using a fine mist to avoid dislodging the seeds.
    • Keep the soil consistently moist until the seeds germinate, which usually takes about 7-14 days.

    6. Thinning:

    • Once the Calendula seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to provide proper spacing. Aim for a spacing of about 6-12 inches, depending on the mature size of the plants.

    7. Care:

    • Water the plants regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry between waterings.
    • Fertilization is generally not necessary, as Calendula prefers moderately fertile soil.

    8. Blooming and Deadheading:

    • Calendula FG Mix typically blooms in late spring through summer. The flowers are edible and can also be used for various herbal and medicinal purposes.
    • Deadhead (remove faded flowers) regularly to encourage prolonged blooming and prevent seed production.

    9. Self-Seeding:

    • Calendula plants are known to self-seed, which means they may drop seeds that germinate in subsequent growing seasons.

    10. Pest and Disease Management:

    • Calendula is relatively resistant to pests and diseases. However, watch for aphids and caterpillars. Regularly inspect the plants and address any issues promptly.

    11. Medicinal and Culinary Uses (Optional):

    • Calendula flowers have a long history of medicinal and culinary uses. They can be used to make herbal teas, oils, salves, and more.
