| I winter sowed some callendula and thought they weren't going to make the plant out. Today, I see robust plants with blooms. What gives? I'm not complaining, but I thought Callies bloomed much earlier.
What is YOUR experience? |

| whenever I've planted calendulas they always seem to bloom all summer. They kinda get tired when it's hot but seem to rebound when it gets cooler. |

| Mine bloom mid summer to frost and beyond. I hated them for a long time because I moved into a house where they were the dominant weed. At our current location, I noticed they were the only colour in the garden in late October/early November. The early bloomers get leggy if you don't cut them back. They will re-bloom in a week or so. |

| Mine bloomed earlier, then petered out - cut them back, and they are reblooming now. |

| Mine bloom into November if we don't get snow. They love shorter days and thrive on cooler weather. They reseed prolifically too. |

| Yes, over in the brug forum I posted a picture of one of my calendula. It's not a fancy named species but it is a Calendula and very lovely. :) ~Tina |
