Thompson & Morgan Calendula Nana Candyman Yellow 1 Seed Packet (100 Seeds)

Marigold 'Candyman Yellow' is the longest flowering and best double Pot Marigold that T&M has grown on its trial grounds! Enjoy daisy-like, large, luminous blooms on sturdy, dwarf, multi-branching, which will brighten summer borders and patio pots with pops of sunshine yellow - the fabulous flowers are excellent as cut flowers too. Culinary note: some parts of these flowers are edible. The light peppery taste of the flowers can be added to breads for extra flavour with a touch of colour. Can also be used as a substitute for saffron when colouring rice dishes.Direct sow calendula seeds outdoors where they are to grow from April to May.
