BASE / GENERAL DATA

Information submited: February 28, 2015 Modified: May 15, 2018 By: OperaDreamhouse
Calendula Officinalis (Pot Marigold, Ruddles, Cmmon Marigold, Garden Marigold, English Marigold, or Scottish Marigold) is a plant in the genus Calendula of the family Asteraceae. It is probably native to southern Europe, though its long history of cultivation makes its precise origin unknown, and it may possibly be of garden origin.

Calendula Officinalis
is widely cultivated and can be grown easily in sunny locations in most kinds of soils. Although perennial, it is commonly treated as an annual, particularly in colder regions where its winter survival is poor and in hot summer locations where it also does not survive.

Calendula Officinalis is a short-lived aromatic herbaceous perennial, growing to 80 cm tall, with sparsely branched lax or erect stems.

The leaves are oblong-lanceolate, 5 - 17 cm long. The inflorescences are yellow, comprising a thick capitulum or flowerhead 4 - 7 cm diameter surrounded by two rows of hairy bracts. The disc florets are tubular and hermaphrodite, and generally of a more intense orange-yellow colour than the female, tridentate, peripheral ray florets.

The flowers may appear all year long where conditions are suitable. The fruit is a thorny curved achene.
