PLACEMENT & CULTIVATION Calendula Calexis Orange is an easy to grow selection for children's gardens, a valuable companion plant in vegetable gardens, an edible & medicinal wonder, and lovely in bouquets–especially paired with cornflowers. For sure success deadhead regularly. Calendulas love cool weather; if they flag in heat, cut back by 1/3 and add a side dressing of compost to revive them for a fall show. Final Spacing: 1' Water Use: Medium Water Use Watering Details: About 1" per week, moderate tolerance to dry soils once established. Soil pH: Slightly acidic to neutral Fertilizer: Mix in 1-2" of compost when planting into low fertility soils.
