Growing Tips for Organic Pacific Beauty Mix Calendula Seeds

To ensure a bountiful harvest of calendula flowers, follow these simple growing tips:

  1. Soil Preparation: Calendula thrives in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. It prefers a pH range of 6.0 to 7.0 but is adaptable to various soil types.
  2. Planting: Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and 6-12 inches apart. For continuous blooms, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks.
  3. Sunlight: Calendula prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hot climates. Ensure your plants receive at least 6 hours of sunlight daily.
  4. Watering: Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Calendula is drought-tolerant once established but will bloom more profusely with consistent watering.
  5. Thinning: Thin seedlings to 12 inches apart when they are about 2 inches tall to allow adequate airflow and reduce the risk of disease.
  6. Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding.
