Calendula officinalis 'Radio'

Half in the sun and half in the shade

#selfseeded marigolds looking lovely….. such an underrated plant that gives colour pretty much all year round🧡

They are, but fodder for slugs unfortunately

@Downandirty how strange Christine….. I don’t think I’ve ever had slugs munching mine🤔

I have never forgotten, many years ago when I made my first tentative steps in my wilderness which is now a proper garden, I bought a punnet of marigolds and planted them. The very next day there was not a single flower - slugs had eaten the lot. It's stayed in my memory - luckily I persevered, transformed my wilderness into a decent garden which i enjoy

Lovely sunny day here in Suffolk today….. pot marigolds pretty much the only plants still properly in bloom now.

Lovely photo 🧡

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thanks Elaine….. the light was lovely this afternoon👍

Beautiful ❤

@anges thanks Ange👍

Just keeps on keeping on..... migrated into the meadow

Looks like summer! 🧡

@anges the only splash of colour left

Pot marigolds #selfseeded spreading into the meadow.

How nice to populate the meadow with marigolds

@sharonhayden thanks Sharon..... slowly merging the border and meadow

What a tough little plant this is..... still giving lots of colour in the borders and will keep on flowering through the winter

So very pretty 🧡😊

@hkyfvr thanks Diane

Marigolds have been flowering all through the winter..... such a robust plant!

Amazing! Mine never last as long as yours. I have to pull them up ♥️♥️

@linfoster They don’t like it as much as I do Lin.... this wall is my brewery where I make my monthly brew!

Marigolds really glowing today....... so many self seeded this year!

Loving pot marigolds more and more..... bloom all year long and keeps self-seeding!

Beautiful and still going strong #tuesdaytenacity 😁

These marigolds have been flowering right through the winter and still going strong! Is this normal?
