Cautions
With its very fast growth rate, Calendula officinalis (pot marigold) will reach its mature size quickly. Keep this in mind when planning the layout of your garden. Reaching maturity quickly can be a benefit if you want your garden to look more established sooner. This plant is self-sowing, and without intervention may spread broadly and randomly.
