Calendula Bon Bon Mix

Yellow / Filler

‘Bon Bon Mix’ is a compact, early calendula mix that gives bright yellow, orange, apricot, and soft yellow flowers in cool weather. It is easy to grow from seed, good for edible petals and cheerful local bouquets, and especially useful for farms that want quick warm colour without managing separate calendula varieties. It should be planned as a short-chain local crop because the stems are usually shorter than taller cut-flower calendulas.

Calendula Bronze Beauty

Apricot / Filler

Calendula ‘Bronze Beauty’ is a fast, cool-season annual that gives flower farmers a soft antique version of pot marigold: warm bronze, apricot, copper, peach, cream and buff tones on cheerful daisy-like flowers. It is easy from seed, inexpensive to trial and very useful in local bouquets where the grower wants a warm-neutral color that feels modern, rustic and seasonal. The crop is best cut frequently, kept out of sustained heat and sold quickly through local channels because vase life is moderate rather than long.

Calendula Flashback Mix

Yellow / Filler

‘Flashback Mix’ is a warm, expressive calendula strain for growers who want more than plain orange pot marigolds. It brings a blend of orange, apricot, peach, vanilla, yellow, gold and cream tones, often with burgundy to maroon petal backs that show when flowers tilt or close. It is easy from seed, quick to flower, edible, pollinator-friendly, and useful in local bouquets, but it should be treated as a cool-season crop and sold fresh rather than pushed as a long-distance florist stem.

Calendula Greenheart Orange

Orange / Filler

Calendula ‘Greenheart Orange’ is a quick, cool-season annual with bright orange petals and a distinctive green center. It gives growers a low-cost crop with a fresh novelty look for local bouquets, edible petals, garden-style florists and farmstand bunches. It is easy enough for beginners, but professional results still depend on cool-season timing, clean centers, dry harvest, frequent cutting and strict grading because soft calendula blooms do not handle long storage or rough shipping.

Calendula Greenheart Yellow

Yellow / Filler

Calendula officinalis ‘Greenheart Yellow’ is a modern pot marigold selected for florist appeal: large, double, golden-yellow blooms with a distinctive green centre that gives the flower a fresh, botanical, almost zinnia-like novelty. It is best treated as a cool-season, fast-turning hardy annual for fresh cut stems, edible petals, pollinator-friendly production, and small-scale seed saving. For flower-farm planning it should be scheduled as a spring and autumn crop in warm climates, or as a main summer crop in cooler regions, because calendula quality drops when plants are pushed through hot, humid weather.

Calendula Indian Prince

Orange / Filler

Calendula 'Indian Prince' is a hardy annual pot marigold grown for glowing deep orange-gold flowers with mahogany-red backs and a dark central eye. It is quick, cheerful, edible, and useful in local mixed bouquets, especially where growers want warm seasonal colour without a complicated crop. It is not a long-storage luxury stem, but it earns its space as a low-cost, pollinator-friendly, cut-and-come-again accent flower when grown in cool weather and harvested often.

Calendula Ivory Princess

Cream / Filler

Calendula officinalis ‘Ivory Princess’ is a soft, creamy, designer-friendly pot marigold selected for cut-flower growers who want calendula’s easy cool-season productivity without the usual strong orange colour. The flowers are double to semi-double, usually creamy white to pale butter-yellow, often with a dark centre that gives the bloom a vintage, daisy-like contrast. It is best treated as a fast-turning hardy annual for local fresh stems, edible petals, pollinator-friendly production, and small-scale seed saving. For flower-farm planning it should be scheduled as a spring and autumn crop in warm climates, or as a main summer crop in cooler regions, because calendula quality drops when plants are pushed through hot, humid weather.

Calendula Lemon Queen

Yellow / Filler

Calendula ‘Lemon Queen’ is a cool-season, seed-grown annual calendula selected for soft lemon to golden-yellow daisy-like blooms on upright, branching plants. It is best treated as a quick annual crop for local bouquets, edible-flower sales, pollinator-friendly gardens, and cheerful spring or autumn bunching rather than as a premium shipped florist stem. For planning, treat this crop as a direct-sown or plug-started hardy annual that prefers cool, bright conditions, even moisture, and regular harvesting. In warm climates it should be scheduled into the cooler shoulders of the season because heat shortens stems, accelerates flowering, increases pest pressure, and reduces market quality.

Calendula Neon

Orange / Filler

Calendula 'Neon' is a richly coloured, double orange pot marigold with burgundy or burnt-umber accents that works best as a cool-season annual for local bouquets, edible petals, and warm seasonal colour. It is easy to start from seed, forgiving in the field, and useful for spring, autumn, and mild-winter production. Its main limits are soft stems, moderate vase life, heat sensitivity, aphids, and petal marking in wet weather, so it should be cut fresh, sold quickly, and not treated like a long-distance premium florist stem.
