They germinated nicely but then disappeared, not sure if the rabbits ate them or what but was sad not to see them flower.

We had good success with this Calendula. They grew quicklly and bloomed througout the season - there are still a few blooms and buds in November! We did deadhead them and I think that helped them with continuous blooming. Though edible, we didn\'t taste the flowers so I did not rate taste.

Seeds planted on 5/8, germinated 5/13. From 6/5 to 7/10, 6 plants growing well; very beautiful and abundant flowers. On 8/10, we began deadheading spent blossoms. We saved some seeds and tried germinating at home - none germinated. 8/24: 6 plants all going to seed, deadheading continued. We will try refrigerating seeds and germinating again. 9/15: 5 plants still with beautiful blooms. This is not our final evaluation for the season. Final entry: 11/24.
