$4 each or 3 for $10 (save $2!)

Calendula are a happy daisy, which once planted in the garden will self sow around in joyful abundance (but not in a weedy way)!  The flowers can be dried and placed in oil for a lovely balm to soothe dry or irritated skin.  

Oopsy Daisy blooms have an unusual bi-coloured flower. 

Type: annual 

Height: 12-18"

Soil: average soil, quite drought tolerant. 

Light: Full sun

Planting: Can be directly sown outdoors after danger of frost or can be started indoors 4 weeks before the last frost.  Transplant outdoors after the last frost.  Be sure to harden off*. 

Care: low maintenance. Deadhead regularly

Bloom time: early summer - hard frost

*Hardening off refers to the process of gently and gradually acclimatizing indoor grown seedlings to the great outdoors!  Don't throw your new babies straight into the elements!  Over the course of a week, take them outside for a few hours at a time, bringing them back indoors afterwards.  First sit them in the shade and then slowly introduce them to the sun.  Increase the length of time they are outside and are exposed to the sun, until you feel they are ready to face the big outside world!
