Calendula 'Sunset Buff'

Sunset Buff is a softer, more subtle version of the classic Indian Prince calendula. Its creamy apricot petals are backed with deep crimson, giving the double blooms a glowing, two-toned effect. It’s easy to see how this stunning variety got its name. A beautiful choice for garden beds or containers!

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 wonderfully versatile: edible, used to dye fabric, and valued in medicinal and skincare uses.
