Latin Name: Calendula officinalis ‘Bon Bon Mix’ 

The Calendula ‘Bon Bon Mix’ is a charming, compact pot marigold variety prized for its double, pom-pom-like flowers and cheerful colors. Growing 10–12 inches (25–30 cm) tall, it’s ideal for borders, containers, and cutting gardens.

This mix produces 2–3 inch (5–7 cm) blooms in vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and apricot, with dense, layered petals resembling carnations. Unlike taller calendulas, ‘Bon Bon’ has a tight, bushy habit and blooms profusely from spring to fall (or year-round in mild climates).

Thriving in full sun to light shade, it prefers well-draining soil and tolerates light frost. Drought-resistant and low-maintenance, it attracts pollinators while repelling pests. Edible petals add color to salads or garnishes.

Pairs well with pansies, violas, or herbs like parsley.
