- Plant type:annual or biennial
- Leaves:The oblong green leaves help to distinquish calendula from tagetes marigolds
- Preferred Habitat:
- Flowering Season:Begins in June. Its name refers to its tendency to bear flowers by the calendar, once a month in warm climates, usually during the new moon. "Marigold" refers to the Virgin Mary, and marigolds are traditionally used in Catholic celebrations concerning the Virgin Mary.
- Distribution:Native to the Mediterranean, grown widely as a garden flower, culitivated for use in herbal medicine.
Calendula is easy to grow and deserves a place in your flower, vegetable, and/or herb garden. Sow seeds directly when the soil temp reaches about 60 degrees in the spring. You will be rewarded with masses of bright green foliage and sunny, yellow blooms. Harvest the flowers when they are newly opened. Pluck the petals from the dried flower heads and store in dark-colored glass jars to preserve the medicinal properties.

 Marigolds are called after the Virgin Mary. In Macer's Herbal it is stated that only to look on Marigolds will draw evil humours out and strengthen the eyesight.
Calendula, called "Marygold" or "sunbride" in the Middle Ages, was sacred to the Norse goddess Freya and was used for love magic.
