| My direct sowed calendula are beginning to show flowers. Do them produce a lot of flowers? Do they need dead heading?
Thanks! |

| You can deadhead every few days for more continuous bloom, then leave a few flowers later in the season if you want them to self sow or would like to harvest seed. |

| depending on the plant and variety they can produce alot of flowers and can bloom for quite a while. the ones i've had produce alot of seeds very well and very easy and reseed themselves with just as much ease :) you can dead head them if you wish to try and control the reproduction but its not easy to get all the seed heads, and they reproduce like rabbits, just one seed produces a plant that can produce lots of seeds :) but its a beautiful plant and flower :) |
