Planting and care

Select a spot for calendula that receives full sun. Calendulas do not require any special soil. Plant calendula seeds in the spring after the last frost in your area. Plant seeds about 1/4 to 1/2 inch (.64 to 1.27 cm) deep and 4 to 6 (10.16 to 15.24 cm) apart. Water the seedbed immediately after planting being careful not to wash the seeds out of their spots. Water the plants as needed to keep the soil moist, but be careful not to overwater. The soil should not be soaking wet.
