Calendula ‘Playtime Mix’
Approx. 60 seeds.
A bright, joyful mix of calendula in warm golds, oranges, apricots and soft creams. ‘Playtime Mix’ produces cheerful, daisy‑like blooms with open centres that pollinators love, and the plants flower for months with regular picking. The colours shift through the season, giving borders and pots a lively, ever‑changing display.
Easy to grow from seed and happy in most soils, calendula thrives in full sun and cooler UK summers. Sow from spring to early autumn for long, generous flowering. Plants are compact, reliable and excellent for wildlife‑friendly gardens, where their accessible pollen supports bees throughout the season. Perfect for borders, cottage gardens, veg patches and cut‑flower beds.
