Calandula (Pot Marigolds)
Calandula is a genus of the daisy family Asteraceae and is native from the Mediterranean through to Iran.
Although calendula is known as ‘The Pot Marigold’, it should not be confused with marigolds or any plants of the Tagetes genus.
The Calandula’s name is derived from Latin, meaning ‘the first day of the month’. This is probably because Calandulas are in flower at the start of most months.
The Calandula is not a very popular cut flower and is very scarce in the flower auctions these days. It is not a flower that we would recommend using as calandulas are very delicate and have a very short vase life when cut. Saying that, calandulas are often used to make Asian wedding flower garlands. When available on the wholesale flower markets calandulas are normally no taller that 50cm – 60cm tall.
