Botanical Name: Calendula officinalis
Common Names: Pot Marigold, Calendula, Pacific Beauty Mix
Calendula ‘Pacific Beauty Mixed’, often referred to as Pot Marigold (not to be confused with French or African Marigolds, Tagetes species), is a vibrant, easy-to-grow edible flower producing bright orange, yellow, and apricot blooms. Loved for its culinary, medicinal, and ornamental value, it is a versatile addition to gardens, containers, and herbal remedies.
🌿 Growing Methods
🌱 Soil Growing (Garden Beds & Containers) – Best for Traditional Growers
✅ Prefers well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter
✅ Thrives in full sun but tolerates partial shade
✅ Water moderately, allowing soil to dry slightly between watering
✅ Blooms throughout the season with regular deadheading
✅ Ideal for garden beds, borders, and pots
💧 Wicking Bed Growing (Self-Watering Systems) – Ideal for Low-Maintenance Gardening
✅ Consistent moisture from self-watering design supports continuous blooms
✅ Benefits from liquid organic fertilizer for extended flowering
✅ Grows faster than soil due to steady hydration and nutrients
✅ Great for urban gardens, raised beds, and permaculture setups
🌊 Hydroponic Growing (Soilless Systems) – Best for Fastest Growth
✅ Requires circulating nutrient solution to support flowering
✅ Benefits from full sun or supplemental lighting
✅ Grows quickly with a controlled nutrient supply
✅ Best suited for NFT (Nutrient Film Technique), deep water culture, and hydro towers
