Calendula officinalis ‘Pink Surprise’ is a sweet and unexpected twist on an old-fashioned favorite, with softly ruffled blooms in glowing shades of apricot, blush, peach, and rosy pink. Warm golden centers add a sunny finish, giving this calendula a romantic cottage garden look with plenty of cheerful charm.

Also known as pot marigold, ‘Pink Surprise’ is an easy, long-blooming annual for beds, borders, containers, cutting gardens, pollinator plantings, and ornamental kitchen gardens. The flowers are lovely for fresh bouquets, and bees and beneficial insects appreciate the generous bloom season. Its soft warm colors pair beautifully with violas, bachelor buttons, sweet peas, poppies, snapdragons, and silvery foliage.

Plant Calendula officinalis ‘Pink Surprise’ in full sun to light shade with reasonably fertile, well-drained soil. It performs especially well in cool seasons and mild summer climates, reaching about 1–2' tall. Deadhead to encourage more blooms, or let a few flowers set seed where happy.
