Calendula officinalis is glorious medicinal herb in the same family as the chrysanthemum, with daisy-like flowers packed with vitamins and potent medicinal benefits.
The flowers and leaves of calendula can be used as edible flowers in salads and other recipes, either fresh or dried, although some people find the peppery taste somewhat bitter.
👨🌾GARDENING TIPS👨🌾:
-
- It is primarily an annual unless you live in hardiness zones 9 to 11 (0 to -6), where it can be grown as a perennial.
- It is best to buy these plants before they bloom, that way the flowers are not damaged in the shipment and you can enjoy the full flowering season (so order between June and September!)
The Tales:
The common name of pot marigold originated from the gold flowers that bloomed during the festivals of the Virgin Mary in Renaissance times (mary + gold = marigold).
It was used in the 18th century as a remedy for headache, jaundice and red eyes.
The petals create a rich yellow dye that is often used as a dye for fabrics, food, and cosmetics.
In Mexico, it is known as ‘Herb of the Sun’ and the flowers are commonly used to adorn the altars of deceased relatives during the Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations.
