Begin your Pacific Beauty journey by planting the seeds about a 1/4 inch deep into the soil, ensuring they're spaced about 8-10 inches apart to allow ample room for growth. These flowers are not too fussy about their soil but prefer it well-drained. While they can tolerate partial shade, they truly come alive in full sunlight, with their blooms turning towards the sun. Water them moderately and watch as they transform your garden into a riot of colors. Their resilience to pests further ensures that your gardening experience is as smooth as it is rewarding.

Invite the splendor of the Pacific Beauty Calendula into your garden or pots, and enjoy the dual benefits of beauty and utility that these flowers promise. Every bloom is a testament to nature's magic, and with each passing day, they'll remind you of the joys of gardening.
