Fiesta Gitana is a dwarf type of calendula flower, only growing up to 14 inches tall at most. The quick-blooming, semi-double flowers range in color from deep orange to bright yellow and pastel cream. Not only are the flowers beautiful, but also edible, with a tangy-bitter peppery flavor and anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties. The leaves have a bright, somewhat astringent scent.
