Ideally, the best time to sow Calendula flower seeds is during the less warm months, making Spring the time for the flowers. So, if you’re wondering when to plant Calendula seeds in your home garden, you can sow the seeds between March-April.
This way, the flowers will bloom during the colder autumn months of July-August. Remember that your seeds will not appreciate an overly wet growing medium. So, ensure two things:
1. If you’re growing Calendula seeds in containers, ensure that they are well-drained and aerated with enough drainage holes. This way, they will have better breathing space.
2. If planting directly into the ground, ensure that the soil media is well-drained and will not retain more water than necessary. For this, you can use the Ugaoo
, which is the perfect blend of 11 essential ingredients needed for seed/plant growth.
Generally, Calendula flower seeds take around 2-7 days to germinate. So, you can expect to see healthy roots within a week. Once you see at least two true leaves, remember to transplant them to an appropriate spot that will allow them enough space to grow bigger.
Over the course of 45-60 days, you will be able to witness stunning blooms in your garden with the right care and attention.
At Ugaoo, we believe that premium quality and authenticity are what make seeds great. So, we source all our seeds - fruit, vegetable, flower, and all other seeds - from India’s largest and most reliable supplier of seeds - Namdeo Umaji.
, in this case our Calendula seeds, are of the finest quality and ensure that you get much higher germination rates. This way, more of the seeds that you sow can germinate and give you a better harvest over time.
So, grow with confidence and reap the benefits of your harvest with the best tasting and most nutritious vegetables, in the comfort of your home garden!
