Latin Name: Calendula officinalis ‘Power Daisy’ 

The Calendula ‘Power Daisy’ is a robust, long-blooming annual prized for its large, double daisy-like flowers and edible petals. Growing 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) tall, it’s ideal for cottage gardens, cut flower beds, and herb gardens.

This improved cultivar produces 3–4 inch (7–10 cm) vibrant orange or yellow blooms with densely layered petals, flowering spring to fall (even in light frost). Its aromatic, lance-shaped leaves and cheerful flowers attract pollinators while deterring pests.

Thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Drought-tolerant but blooms best with regular watering. Self-seeding in mild climates.

Perfect for companion planting, pair with lettuce, herbs, or spring bulbs. Petals are used in salads, teas, or skincare.

Key Features:

• Flowers: Edible, slightly spicy

• Foliage: Sticky, herbal scent

• Hardiness: Annual (self-seeds readily)

• Uses: Medicinal, culinary, cut flowers.
