Calendula 'Resina'

Resina likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Resina is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ensure your soil is loamy and has a ph of between 6.1 and 7.8 as Calendula is a weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil loving plant.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 7.8 inches (20.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.2 inches (0.5 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 10°C / 50°F to ensure good germination.

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

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Resina is a tender plant.

Harvest young flowers for salads any time there is plenty.

Calendula is in the same family as daisies and chrysanthemums and the resemblance can be detected in their daisy-like flowers.¹
