Flower

Calendula officinalis

Overview
2-2 1/2" double blooms. A favorite in our trials for its vibrant color. Blooms have brilliant, dark orange petals and a contrasting dark, almost purple center. Also known as pot marigold, common marigold, and Scotch marigold. Edible Flowers: Petals of the flowers can be used fresh or dried in "flower confetti," soups, soufflés, rice dishes, baked goods, and to garnish desserts. Calendula is a popular choice for brightening up salad mix. Flavor is tangy and slightly bitter. Remove the petals from the flower base before consuming as the base can be quite bitter.
