What is Calendula Flowers (Oregon-Grown)?

These are Oregon-grown whole dried flowers of Calendula officinalis, also called Pot Marigold, in the daisy family (Asteraceae). They are part of our Locally Grown line, cultivated by partner growers in the Pacific Northwest near our Oregon shop.

About the plant

Despite the shared common name, Calendula is not the same plant as the ornamental garden marigolds of the genus Tagetes, which have a different aromatic character. Calendula has a documented place in European herbalism dating back to at least ancient Roman times, and its bright orange-yellow petals are also used as a natural food coloring and dye.
