Calendula is a beautiful herb, daisy-like in appearance with its golden flowers, a most thoughtful plant from our Mother Earth. Its uses are many and virtuous. Calendula will even re-seed herself for growth in the new season. When growing this herb try to leave the first dozen or so blossoms to go seed. One may gather the seeds after they have fully developed and dried, or let them fall and reseed.
