How to grow Calendula 'coffee cream'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. coffee cream is generally regarded as a half hardy plant, so it will require protection in frosts and low temperatures. coffee cream needs a loamy soil with a ph of 6.1 to 7.8 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Growing coffee cream from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 7.8 inches (20.0 cm) between Calendula plants. For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 10°C / 50°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing coffee cream about 35 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting coffee cream

coffee cream is half hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
