Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

A twist on the classic pot marigold - the unusual, quilled petals of Calendula ‘Porcupine Orange’ create a spiky silhouette that provides a distinctive contrast with softer flower shapes. These cheerful blooms flower throughout summer until the first frosts. They are a cinch to grow and great for kids. They also lend a splash of colour to the edges of veg beds, the edible petals making a colourful addition to salads. Grow them in borders or containers, they are perfect for cutting too. Height: 45cm (18in). Spread: 25cm (10in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
