Calendula (Calendula officinalis), commonly known as pot marigold, is a cheerful, heat-tolerant annual prized for its bright yellow to orange daisy-like flowers. In North Florida and South Georgia, it provides long-lasting color from early spring through fall, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Its bushy, compact habit makes it ideal for borders, garden beds, containers, and edible or medicinal gardens.
