Description
Organic Calendula
Organic Calendula seeds, botanical name Calendula officinalis, grow quite easily, even in different types of environments and soils. Its microgreens are appreciated for their fresh, slightly mentholated, and savoury, almost spicy taste. Their growth period is rather short, but with a little more waiting you can also obtain the characteristic, beautiful yellow and orange flowers.
How can I grow it?
Producing organic Calendula microgreens and flowers requires care and patience, both at home and in the garden.
Organic Calendula seeds do not need to be soaked, so start sowing them in soil straight away. This variety loves sun, so we suggest you not to keep them in the dark, but to place your pot in a bright and airy place.
By watering them sparingly and often, the organic Calendula microgreens will be ready to be harvested and enjoyed in about 12/14 days. If, on the other hand, you wish to enjoy the fragrance and beautiful appearance of its flower, you will have to wait about 4 months.
