About this herb
Dried Calendula flower petals.
Calendula is also called pot Marigold and is a member of the daisy family that is native to Europe. Since the time of the ancient Romans and Greeks, Calendula has been used to make a natural dye for cloth. A strong infusion (tea) of the flowers adds golden highlights to blond hair.
The flowers are also fed to canaries to enhance the color of their feathers. Calendula officinalis (aka pot marigolds or English marigolds): A native of southern Europe, this “marigold” is actually not a true marigold, but is an attractive companion plant nonetheless. Its bright flowers are edible—with a tangy, peppery taste—so it is often grown alongside herbs in kitchen gardens.
Calendula flowers contain antioxidant and carotenes, the herb has been used for centuries to make topical preparations to ease eczema, psoriasis, insect bites, abrasions, and other irritations. Infused in oils, used to make lip balms, salves, creams, lotions, and hair and skin rinses. Excellent for making natural diaper rash creams and other products for babies and children.
Calendula is used in the cosmetics and fragrance industries. It is also used industrially as a coloring agent for cheese and other foods.

⚠️ Flower Notice We are not a florist. We sell dried flowers as herbs and supplements only. While these petals are vibrant and aromatic, we do not guarantee ornamental use. Natural color fading and a crisper texture are normal due to the drying process.
Calendula is generally considered safe but may cause allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to plants in the daisy family. Always consult your medical professional before using herbs.
