Calendula ‘Pink Surprise’
Approx. 60 seeds. A soft, romantic twist on classic calendula, ‘Pink Surprise’ produces warm apricot‑pink blooms with layered petals and a gentle, sunlit glow. The colours shift subtly through the season, giving you a mix of blush, peach and soft gold on sturdy stems that hold beautifully in borders and cutting gardens. Bees adore them, and the plants flower for months with regular deadheading.
Easy to grow from seed and happy in almost any soil, calendula thrives in full sun and cooler UK summers. Sow from spring to early autumn for long, generous displays. Plants are compact, reliable and excellent for wildlife‑friendly gardens, where their open centres provide accessible pollen. Perfect for borders, pots, cottage gardens and cheerful kitchen‑table arrangements.
