Easy to grow and also to save seeds from this beauty. It does well hydroponically and in containers.

Is a self-sowing hardy annual and will handle spring frost like a champ. For a dwarf Calendula, I tried 'Citrus Cocktail' and planted it among my lettuce and tomatoes last year. Plants are about 10" and growth is compact.
