How to Grow
Calendula 'Snow Princess' seeds can be sown directly outdoors from March to October in a sunny location such as window boxes, balconies, containers, or garden beds. This annual thrives in well-drained soil and generally looks after itself once established.
Sowing
Sow the seeds on firm, damp soil and cover them lightly to encourage germination. Keep the soil consistently moist and place the container or bed in a sunny spot to support sprouting.
Growing
Once seedlings emerge, thin them to allow enough space for tall, graceful growth, accommodating their spread in a 25 cm pot or garden bed. This ensures healthy development and abundant blooms from June to August.
Plant care
Maintain regular watering to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry spells. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming and encourage continuous flowering throughout the growing season.
