They are a very prolific, easy-to-grow annual flower. Also known as &#8220;Pot Marigolds&#8221;, they are members of the marigold family. Daisy-like Calendula flowers grow atop long stems. Calendulas make great indoor arrangements, but need to be checked for aphids before bringing them in. They make good dried flowers, too. They would be more popular, but they give off an unpleasant odor that is sometimes too strong indoors. This guide on &#8220;How to Grow Calendulas&#8221; will show you just how easy they are to grow. Then, acquire some calendula seeds and get growing a beautiful crop of Calendulas.<b><\/b>\u00a0<i><\/i><\/p><p align=\"Left\">While technically, they are a perennial, they are short-lived. So, most gardeners think of them and grow them as an annual.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Pot Marigolds look best planted in groups. Grow them in a flower garden or in wildflower settings. They look great at the base of small-growing trees. Also, try the on flowerpots and containers on your patio or deck.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Calendulas also make great companion plants in your vegetable garden. Their flowers attract pollinators.<\/p><p align=\"Left\"><strong>Did You Know?<\/strong> The flowers are used to make a rich yellow dye.

Low maintenance Calendula plants like rich, well-drained soil, but are very tolerant of average to slightly poor soils. Improving your soil quality will produce much healthier plants and flowers, so add plenty of compost.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Add a general-purpose fertilizer once every six to eight weeks. Do not over fertilize the plants. Too much fertilizer can result in spindly plant stems.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Once your Calendula plants are established, they should grow well, even if left unattended. Water them during dry periods, once or twice per week.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">While the plants are still small, pinch back the growing tips on the stems. This results in a bushier, more attractive plant.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Add mulch around the plants for appearance and to keep weeds down.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Early in the summer, your plants will begin to produce large flowers on long stems. They will continually produce flowers even after the first light frost. As you pick the flowers for indoor arrangements, look carefully at the stem and the undersides of the leaves for aphids.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">Pick dead blooms to keep the plants neat looking and to encourage new blooms. See:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenersnet.com\/atoz\/deadhead.htm\">deadheading blooms<\/a><\/p><p align=\"Left\">Calendula is a somewhat hardy annual. It will not be harmed by a light frost either in the spring or fall. However, the plants will succumb to heavy frosts or freezes.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">The seeds are easy to collect after the bloom has died off.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1bbe7f6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1bbe7f6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3ccd9e6\" data-id=\"3ccd9e6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70a4428 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"70a4428\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Pruning Calendula Plants<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-db6ba3c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"db6ba3c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2ec56f5\" data-id=\"2ec56f5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70be7d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"70be7d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Pruning is not required.

Aphids and whiteflies are the most common insect problem. They are readily treated with insecticidal soap or repellent. Sevin will also work well. Inspect flowers closely before bringing them indoors. Slugs and snails can also be a problem when the plants ae still young, Slug and snail pellets are effective.<\/p><p align=\"Left\">The most common disease are mildews, which occur in hot, humid weather or rainy weather. Use fungicides if mildew problems arise. And, avoid water on the leaves and stems as nightfall approaches. Also, wet soil can cause plant root rot.<\/p><p align=\"Left\"><b>Also see:\u00a0<\/b><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gardenersnet.com\/plantproblems\/index.htm\">Plant Problems<\/a><\/b> \u2013 causes and
