Calendula ‘Orange Flash’ delights with its unique two-tone petals, thriving in sunny spots and well-drained soil, making it perfect for cottage garden borders or pollinator-friendly spaces. Each packet contains approximately 200 seeds and comes with full growing and care instructions, so you can enjoy blooms from June to September whether you sow directly outdoors or start indoors for earlier flowers. How to grow: Direct sow calendula seeds outdoors where they are to grow from April to May. Choose a position in full sun on well-drained soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. Sow seeds thinly, at a depth of 1cm (1/2") in drills spaced 30cm (12") apart and cover seed with its own depth of soil to exclude light. Water the ground regularly, especially during dry periods. Germination usually takes five to 10 days. When calendula seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them out to 30cm (12") apart. Alternatively, sow indoors from March to April at a temperature of 18-23C (65-73F). When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow them on in cooler conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. For winter or early spring flowering, sow calendula in late summer or early autumn and grow plants on in a cool greenhouse or conservatory.
