Direct sow into a sunny position with well-drained soil in autumn or spring — it thrives in cooler conditions and is one of the best flowers for autumn and winter sowing in NZ. Sow seeds at a depth of around 5mm and thin seedlings to 25–30 cm apart. Deadhead regularly to keep the blooms coming. Calendula will often self-seed gently around the garden, returning year after year with minimal effort. Performs beautifully throughout New Zealand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e10 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Calendula 'Cantaloupe Mix' (\u003cem\u003eCalendula officinalis\u003c\/em\u003e), a blend of warm apricot, peach, cream, and blush tones.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45350321717317,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/image_ab6f9dbe-4420-45a7-9e51-6dcfa97fd8fc.png?v=1784067109","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/calendula-cantaloupe-mix-seeds-calendula-officinalis","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
