The most commonly cultivated and used member of the genus is the pot marigold (Calendula officinalis).
For example, poppies, nasturtiums, pot marigolds, candytuft, love-in-a-mist, poached egg flower, cornflower, morning glory and Californian poppy.
The nasturtiums and pot marigolds are there for two reasons: they encourage predators (pest-eaters) to come into your garden, and you can eat them too!
Along with horsetails (Equisetum arvense), pot marigold is one of the few plants which is considered astringent despite not being high in tannins.
These orange flowers you see everywhere are pot marigolds, or calendulas.
Even ordinary varieties of plants like antirrhinums and pot marigolds (calendulas) may produce disappointing results because the plants have been cross-pollinated by other varieties or colours.
Calendula, or pot marigold, is an old-fashioned hardy annual herb that has been updated with large-flowered cultivars in sunny shades of yellow, buff, orange, and apricot.
Calendic acid (sometimes α-calendic acid) is an unsaturated fatty acid, named for the pot marigold (genus Calendula), from which it is obtained.
