{"product_id":"erfurter-orangefarbige-calendula","title":"Seed Collection: Erfurter Orangefarbige Calendula","description":"\u003cp\u003eErfurter Orangefarbige is a variety of calendula bred specifically for its medicinal virtues. Although the whole plant has long been used as a culinary and medicinal herb, the bright orange flowers alone are recommended for kitchen use today, since the leaves are very bitter. The flowers are mild tasting and slightly sweet, and can be used both in savoury and sweet dishes – the nickname ‘pot marigold’ comes from its popular use in the soup pot. When dried, its petals, which have been called ‘poor man’s saffron’, can be used to create a natural dye or, funnily enough, in chicken feed to make egg yolks extra vibrant! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--StartFragment--\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNAME\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCalendula\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eErfurter Orangefarbige\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQUANTITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e45 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLANT SIZE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight \u003c\/strong\u003e30 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth \u003c\/strong\u003e30 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTAINER SIZE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight \u003c\/strong\u003e25 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth \u003c\/strong\u003e25 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOMPANION PLANT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll vegetables benefit from the presence of calendula – especially tomatoes, radishes and carrots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!--EndFragment--\u003e\u003c!--StartFragment--\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSOWING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndoor \u003c\/strong\u003eFeb-Mar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutdoor \u003c\/strong\u003eApr-June\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTIMING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination \u003c\/strong\u003e7-15 days\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting \u003c\/strong\u003e40-60 days\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPACING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen sowing \u003c\/strong\u003e3-5 cm; Depth 1 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen thinning \u003c\/strong\u003e3-5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGROWING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSunligth \u003c\/strong\u003eFull sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u003c\/strong\u003eWell-drained, light and moist soil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering \u003c\/strong\u003eRegular, moderate watering\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding \u003c\/strong\u003eLight feeder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"infoProdotto\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpert tip \u003c\/strong\u003eCalendula is adaptable and does not require a lot of maintenance, making it ideal for container gardens.
