Calendula, garden marigold, marygold. Calendula officinalis L.
A real miracle in the world of plants with extraordinary colors!
The pure pink color for this plant is really a surprise...
Calendula is a cold-resistant and light-loving annual that prefers moderate watering and open sunny places (however, it also feels good with some shading).
To make the plant bushy, pinch the tops of young shoots.
