Apricot Beauty Calendula

Apricot Beauty Calendula (Calendula officinalis) - Another old-fashioned flower variety gifted to us from Emil & Elsie Byrka of Morden, MB. Apricot Beauty displays a creamy apricot explosion of densely petaled flowers. As flowers begin to fully open they reveal more of a creamy-orange colour from their initial orange hue. Stems are multi-branched and quite tall making it ideal for cut flowers. A very beautiful and hardy variety that produces blooms well into the post-frost days of late autumn.
