ORIGIN // Native to Europe, calendula is a plant already known and used in Antiquity by the Arabs, Greeks and Indians for its medicinal properties.

QUALITIES // Oopsy Daisy calendula blooms in single and double forms, boasting white & yellow pedals with orange tips. It prefers cooler temperatures and regular pruning of dead blossoms [ a process called “deadheading”, which encourages perpetual blooms].

USE // Calendula has many cosmetics and medicinal uses. Like Arnica or St. John’s Wort, it’s a must-have in your first-aid kit! It can be used in the preparation of dyes and colorants. Calendula petals are edible: sprinkle over salads or add in your drinks for a fun touch and tangy sweet taste.
