FAQs

When to sow Calendula Touch of Red seeds?

Sow your Calendula Touch of Red seeds straight into the garden from early spring right up to June. Plant them 1cm deep in a sunny spot with good drainage, and space the seedlings 20-30cm apart. For an early start next year, you can also sow in September, so they overwinter gently. Keep sowing every few weeks for non-stop flowers. Calendula Touch of Red loves the sun and shrugs off light frosts.

Do I need to deadhead calendula plants?

It is a good idea to deadhead your Calendula Touch of Red plant if you want to encourage more flowers to bloom throughout the season. Removing spent flowers helps the plant focus its energy on producing new blooms rather than seeds. It also keeps the plant looking tidier and improves air circulation, which can reduce disease.

Do Calendulas come back each year?

Calendula Touch of Red is a hardy annual, which means it grows, flowers, and sets seed all in one year and does not come back as the same plant the next year. However, it often self-seeds readily, so you may find new plants growing in your garden the following spring if you leave some flower heads to mature and they drop seeds.
