Calendula Bon Bon Orange (Calendula officinalis) is a dwarf, early-flowering calendula with bright orange, fully double, daisy-like blooms on compact plants about 10–12 inches tall. Its tidy habit makes it ideal for containers, window boxes, edging, and the front of garden beds.
Calendula thrives in cool weather. Sow in early spring around your last frost, or in fall in warm regions (zones 8–10) for winter-to-spring color; plants slow down in summer heat. Bon Bon is known for flowering early, often while plants are still small, and keeps blooming when spent flowers are removed.
Growing Tips
- Sow 1/4 inch deep in full sun and well-drained soil.
- Space plants 8–10 inches apart; germination takes 7–14 days.
- Expect first blooms in about 50–60 days.
- Deadhead regularly for a longer flowering season.
The cheerful orange flowers attract pollinators, make good short cut flowers, and the petals are edible for garnishing salads. 25 seeds per pack.
