Judge’s scorecards were full of checkmarks for Calexis, a new compact, uniform and branching Calendula. Freely blooming, it is covered with large flowers composed of rolled petals, most blooms fully double. Great for pots and garden edging, and salads too, just tug some petals out of the center disk and sprinkle on top.
