{"product_id":"radio-calendula","title":"Radio Calendula","description":"\u003cp\u003eRadio Calendula was introduced in the 1930s and remains a classic. The colors range from a very bright yellow to a golden-orange so that every bloom is a little sunrise. The petals are very crisply defined and almost quill-like. Plants grow close to 2 feet in height and if you keep them deadheaded they will bloom until frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e50 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #327138;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCalendula officinalis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnnual\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 7-14 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination Temperature:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eOptimum soil temperatures 65-70ºF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeed Planting Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sow 1\/4” deep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStarting Indoors:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStart indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
