Attract Pollinators & Hummingbirds

by

These did well in our New England garden. They attracted fat bumble bees, butterflies, and we had a couple of ruby throated hummingbirds visiting these calendulas. They are super bright and beautiful. We will be growing these again.

These calendula flowers are easy to grow and low maintenance. I planted them several years ago. They grow back every year. They are safe for children to play with.

These beauties were prolific this summer and so stunning! When macerated in a high quality olive oil they turned it a gorgeous yellow color!
