A sweet friend sent me some Calendula seeds. Does anyone have any tips for planting them? They are an annual right?

Oh yes they will reseed themselves! I love them though. They're so pretty.

Also if you let some go to seed, they will come up every year for you.

Yep....Annuals.
I use calendula petals in my Lemon Verbena soap---a very good herb for your skin. And the petals are edible--Haven't tried that!
I just planted half a raised bed in calendula this morning--Funny!
They grow in any well-drained soil in full sun or bright partial shade. Deadhead regularly to promote new blossom. Good luck!
