If regular Calendulas are a little too tall for you, Calendula Bon Bon is the answer. Its compact size also makes it great for brightening up containers, and organic gardeners like planting it near veggies to attract helpful insects. Although you'll love the sunshine-spectrum of orange and yellow blooms, they're more than just pretty faces. Collect and dry petals to use as a saffron substitute or use fresh, tangy petals as a special ingredient in salads.
