Calendula, or pot marigold, is a fairly common annual, easy to grow and providing a pop of orange and yellow in your landscape (so even if you don’t have a dedicated space for your healing plants, you can still squeeze this in with no qualms). But what sets calendula apart from most of your other flowers is its healing and culinary versatility.
