Q: What is the sunlight requirement for Calendulas

Calendulas thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window. The current weather in your area may affect the placement in your home. For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn. Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure. Ultimately, the current weather in your area should be taken into consideration when determining the best placement for your Star Marigold.

Taxonomy ID: 28631

Genus Calendula Family Asteraceae Order Asterales Class Magnoliopsida Phylum Tracheophyta

Calendula stellata, a species of flowering plant in the marigold genus Calendula, is highly attractive and suitable for gardens in a Mediterranean climate. Native to northwestern Africa, Malta, and Sicily, this hardy annual species is currently considered endangered. It thrives in rocky valleys near the coast and displays a bushy habit with dark green foliage. Its bright, golden yellow blooms have an orange heart. Calendula officinalis, also known as pot marigold, is the most commonly cultivated and used member of the genus. It is one of the two birth flowers for the month of October. While popular herbal and cosmetic products named "Calendula" are derived from C. officinalis, historic usage of calendula plants was primarily culinary. They were used for their color and flavor, adding zest to dishes such as dumplings, wine, oatmeal, puddings, and even stewed birds when cooked with spinach in English cuisine.
