Calendula 'Pygmy Buff'

Apricot-buff petals with rich coppery undersides make this variety truly glow. Sunset Buff is excellent for borders and stunning as a cut flower. With warm sunset hues, it’s easy to see how this variety earned its name. A more compact, dwarf plant, it’s perfect for containers or mass plantings in garden beds.

Calendulas are among the fastest flowers to bloom from seed—often flowering in just two months. Often called English Marigold or Pot Marigold, they’re loved by beneficial insects. The petals are highly versatile: edible, used to dye fabric, and valued in both medicinal and skincare applications.
