Disclaimer
- Though often called marigold, our calendula (Calendula officinalis L.) should not be confused with garden marigold (of the Tagetes genus).
- The flowers open in the morning and close in the late afternoon; they are of the highest quality when harvested in the morning after the dew has dried.
- The flowers fade quickly when exposed to light and readily absorb moisture, so they should be stored in a dark, airtight container.
- Calendula was named the 2008 International Herb Association Plant of the year, being outstanding in all three categories: medicinal, culinary and decorative.
