Discover Rare Marigold Calendula Plants

Enhance your garden with Rare Marigold and Calendula plants, featuring the distinguished Nosento and White Swan varieties. These easy-to-grow plants are a delightful addition to any cut flower garden, offering long-lasting blooms and a touch of elegance. Their unique scent is cherished by many, adding another layer of sensory experience to your garden.

Marigolds hold cultural significance, often used in Indian weddings, Mexican Day of the Dead celebrations, and various South Asian traditions. By growing these plants, you can connect with these rich cultural heritages and perhaps even serve unmet needs within those communities.

The Nosento variety stands out with its robust and uniform growth. Its fresh yellow flowers, subtly hinting at green, create a beautiful contrast against the deep green foliage. True to its name, ‘No Sento’ emits a less intense scent compared to other marigolds, making it a pleasant choice for those sensitive to strong fragrances. The dense, round flowers are supported by sturdy necks, ensuring they remain upright and visually appealing.

Each Calendula seedling comes in a small, convenient plug-size container (5/8″ X 5/8″ X 2″). We take great care in packaging and shipping the healthiest plants possible. Please note that live plants may experience some stress during transit, such as brown leaves or overheating, especially during summer. However, most plants recover quickly when watered and placed in partial shade. Care instructions are included to help you nurture your new plants effectively.
