Description
Pink Surprise is a Calendula officinalis variety with upright, bushy plants. Most blooms open gold with a darker burnish, while others show pink edges or open pink with touches of gold.
Sow outdoors before last frost or start indoors, then transplant outside after frost. Deadheading prolongs blooms, and plants reseed easily.
