Compact, long-flowering summer bedding plants offering vibrant colour, excellent garden performance and broad versatility for borders, containers, raised beds and kitchen gardens. Calendula Fiesta is selected for its tidy growth habit, strong flowering and reliable performance throughout the summer season.

Calendula Fiesta is a refined, compact form of pot marigold (Calendula officinalis), producing masses of bright, daisy-like blooms in vivid orange or yellow shades. The semi-double flowers sit neatly above bushy, aromatic foliage, creating well-balanced plants that work equally well in ornamental displays and practical edible garden settings.

Naturally dwarf and uniform, plants grow to around 20–30cm tall, making them ideal for smaller gardens, window boxes and mixed container planting. Their compact habit allows easy combination with herbs, vegetables and other summer bedding plants for colourful, productive displays that remain attractive throughout the season.

Supplied as strong, garden-ready live plants with generous 1L rootballs, Calendula Fiesta establishes quickly when planted out, reducing transplant shock and supporting vigorous growth. Strong root development ensures reliable flowering, bushy plants and consistent presentation in borders and containers.

Easy to grow and low maintenance, Calendula Fiesta thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Regular deadheading encourages continuous flowering from late spring through summer and into early autumn. Edible petals add colour and a mild peppery flavour to salads and garnishes, while the flowers attract bees and other beneficial insects, supporting pollinator-friendly planting schemes.
