A real beauty in the flower garden! The marigold 'Pacific Beauty' (Calendula officinalis) is bright and cheery. And, it attracts butterflies and bees. The flowers are also edible. It repels ants with its smell. The 'Pacific Beauty' also looks great in a flower bouquet as a cut flower in a vase indoors. Plant the flower seeds outdoors from late March to late May. Scatter the seeds broadly or plant them in rows. The round flowers bloom from June to October. They grow to about 60 cm tall.
Space the marigold seeds 25 cm apart. Space the rows at a distance of 25 cm. Plant at a depth of 0.5 to 1 cm. Plant the flower seeds in a sunny spot. After sowing, water the seeds adequately. The flower seeds come in a bag containing approximately 1 gram. This is enough to sow 2.5 square metres.
