Marigold - Ivory Princess

Calendula officinalis

The marigold variety ‘Ivory Princess’ is a stylish variety in various shades of creamy white. It can have varied flowers with different colors on the center disk, some will be light and some dark, but all petals have that beautiful creamy white color. It is very easy to grow and delivers plenty of flowers in different sizes well into the season and can usually handle a few degrees below zero, which is absolutely fantastic.

This is our cultivation expert Johanna Damm’s favorite edible flower. She usually uses these in summer salads or to decorate baked goods but her very best tip is to freeze in ice cubes. There’s no fancier way to present a drink, and the feeling of being able to serve ice cubes with ‘fresh flowers’ during the colder months of the year is magical.(Ivory Princess doesn’t need a lot of space for its

roots and is therefore perfect for growing in pots and window boxes too!)
