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. Order Seeds QTY PRICE £1.15
