Calendula Art Shades Mixed Cut Flower Seeds |
|
Calendula 'Art Shades Mixed' (English Marigold/Pot Marigold) is an unusual mixture - it contains the usual bright orange but with various unusual shades of yellows, cream and apricot with chocolate coloured centres.
They reach a height of 45cm and the large frilled flowers will add great interest to a vase of flowers. The 'cut flowers' last for about a week in a vase.
The petals can be added to salads for flavour and colour, and are also used as a substitute for saffron.
Approx 100 seeds per pack.
