Calendula 'scarlet starlet'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that scarlet starlet is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures. 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 scarlet starlet about 35 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as scarlet starlet is a half hardy plant.
