Summary
Calendula suffruticosa, commonly known as Woody Marigold, is an evergreen perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region. It typically grows to a height and width of 0.5-1 feet (0.2-0.3 meters), forming a low, bushy mound. Woody Marigold thrives in coastal areas and on rocky slopes, where it is adapted to the dry, well-drained conditions of the Mediterranean climate.
Woody Marigold is valued for its vibrant orange daisy-like flowers that bloom profusely in the summer and fall, adding a splash of color to the garden. The flowers are particularly showy and can be used for ornamental purposes in borders, rock gardens, and as ground cover. It is also used in traditional medicine and as an edible flower in culinary applications. This plant is drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for xeriscaping and low-water gardens. It prefers full sun exposure and is adaptable to a range of soil types, provided they have good drainage. While generally easy to maintain, Woody Marigold can be susceptible to powdery mildew and should be spaced properly to ensure good air circulation.CC BY-SA 4.0
