Calendula

Calendula

Calendula is a powerhouse flower with sunny blooms and soothing benefits. Its golden-orange petals brighten up garden beds and attract a wide range of pollinators, including bees and beneficial insects like hoverflies that help control aphids. Calendula also makes a fantastic companion plant—its roots can help suppress soil-borne pests, and its blooms can distract pests from nearby veggies. Edible and medicinal, the petals are perfect for teas, salves, and adding a splash of colour to salads. Easy to grow and long-blooming, Calendula is a must-have for herbalists, pollinator-friendly gardeners, and beauty lovers alike.
