Calendula officinalis · Dried Golden Blossoms · Floral Botanical Pantry

Dried Calendula Blossoms (Calendula officinalis) are a vibrant traditional floral botanical, recognised for their naturally golden-orange petals and gentle, subtly herbaceous floral character.

Traditionally prepared as a herbal infusion, the dried blossoms create what is commonly known as calendula tea — a delicate botanical cup that can be enjoyed on its own or blended with complementary flowers and herbs.

Calendula has a long history within European herbal traditions and has also been cultivated for generations as a familiar garden and culinary flower. Its distinctive golden petals have been used in teas, botanical preparations and food.

At Flowers from my Meadow, our Calendula Blossoms are kept pure and uncomplicated — carefully packed as a single dried botanical for tea, botanical blending and creative preparations.

Culinary & Botanical Uses

Our Calendula Blossoms are selected and packed for culinary preparation. Bring their golden petals into herbal teas, floral syrups, refreshing coolers and savoury baked recipes that celebrate Calendula's gentle herbaceous character.

How to Prepare

Add 1–2 teaspoons of dried Calendula Blossoms to a cup or teapot. Pour over freshly boiled water, cover and allow to steep for 5–10 minutes.

Strain before serving.

Calendula creates a mild, gently herbaceous and subtly floral infusion. Enjoy on its own or combine with complementary botanicals according to taste.

Botanical Notes from the Meadow

Calendula (Calendula officinalis), often called Pot Marigold, is different from French or African Marigolds (Tagetes spp.). Its naturally orange and golden colour comes in part from plant carotenoid pigments. The dried blossoms are naturally caffeine-free and pair beautifully with Chamomile, Rose Petals and Blue Butterfly Pea Flowers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Calendula the same as Marigold? Calendula is often called Pot Marigold, but it is botanically distinct from Tagetes marigolds.

What does Calendula tea taste like? It is mild and gently herbaceous, with subtle floral and earthy notes.

Does Calendula contain caffeine? No. The dried flowers are naturally caffeine-free.

Can I use Calendula in cooking? Yes. Calendula has a history of culinary use and can lend colour to suitable drinks, syrups and sweet or savoury recipes.

The Story Behind the Flower

Calendula has been grown in gardens and used in traditional botanical preparations for generations, recognised instantly by its brilliant golden-orange flowers.

Known botanically as Calendula officinalis, the flower belongs to the daisy family and is traditionally valued for its colourful petals. Once carefully dried, the flowers retain their distinctive warm colour and wonderfully rustic botanical character.

Calendula can be steeped on its own as a gentle herbal infusion or combined with other flowers and herbs in loose-leaf blends. Its vivid petals also make it a beautiful addition to botanical preparations, handmade creations and decorative blends.

At Flowers from my Meadow, we love Calendula for its simplicity and versatility. Our dried flowers are carefully selected and packed so their natural colour, texture and botanical character remain at the heart of however you choose to use them.
