About Calendula ‘Orange King’

‘Orange King’ is a classic calendula variety with rich orange flowers and a strong summer presence. Growing 40–50 cm tall, it produces bold, daisy-like blooms that light up garden beds, borders, and containers. Its long flowering season—from June until frost—makes it a reliable choice for continuous color.

Calendula is also known for its pollinator-friendly nature and traditional use in natural skincare, making it a beautiful and multifunctional addition to your garden.

Sow directly outdoors in May in well-drained, sunny soil. ‘Orange King’ performs well in flower beds, cottage gardens, or planters. With full sun and regular deadheading, it will bloom for months without fuss.
