A true opportunist that takes advantage of snowless, mild winters. It can start it's blooming in January and can cope with a snowfall or two as long as it's not crushed underneath masses of snow.

This is a very hardy, little plant that seems to grow well in most conditions. It self-seeds freely and is a lovely harbinger of spring.

This easy-care shrub produces lots of beautiful purple flowers that the butterflies seem to enjoy. As long as I kept it well watered, it sailed through our hot, humid summer with no problems.

Is a self-sowing hardy annual and will handle spring frost like a champ. For a dwarf Calendula, I tried 'Citrus Cocktail' and planted it among my lettuce and tomatoes last year. Plants are about 10" and growth is compact.

Makes nice addition to a Siberian Iris bed. Leaves form in the fall and are bright green through the winter.
