Calendula officinalis 

A charming old-fashioned calendula variety producing masses of fully double, rich orange blooms held on long stems that are ideal for cutting. Flowering over an extended season, Ball's Orange brings vibrant colour to garden beds, borders and cottage gardens while providing a valuable food source for bees, hoverflies and other beneficial pollinators.

Easy to grow and highly rewarding, this heirloom selection is prized for its reliable performance, prolific flowering and suitability as a cut flower. Regular picking encourages continuous blooms, making it an excellent choice for both ornamental displays and productive flower gardens. The bright flowers are also edible and can be used as colourful garnishes or scattered through salads.
