Crown Orange Fleuroselect winner, for the lushness of this big double orange flower, with a dark heart.
Are Crown Orange calendula flowers edible?
Yes. W.H. Perron lists edible use, and Calendula officinalis petals may be used fresh as a garnish or dried as a culinary colouring. Their flavour is mildly peppery or bitter. Eat only flowers grown with products labelled for food crops. A flower from a florist, an arrangement, or a plant treated solely as an ornamental may have received products that are unsuitable for food. Remove damaged parts, rinse petals gently, and begin with a small amount. The edible field is therefore marked TRUE, but this botanical value does not replace checking which products were actually applied during cultivation or guarantee that every ornamental flower is suitable for eating.
Is Crown Orange calendula safe for dogs and cats?
Yes. Calendula officinalis is classified as non-toxic to dogs and cats by the ASPCA, so toxicity is marked FALSE and pet friendly is marked TRUE. This classification does not mean an animal should freely eat the plants or seeds. A large amount of plant material may still cause digestive discomfort, and products applied in the garden can create separate risks. Keep pets away from seed packets, fertilized growing media, and recently treated plants. If an animal consumes a substantial amount or develops unusual symptoms, contact a veterinarian and provide the botanical name Calendula officinalis. Pet-friendly status reflects the plant itself, not every pesticide, fertilizer, or growing product that may be present.
