distinctive greens you can grow on a windowsill or in a commercial tray — pale-green cotyledons with a faintly resinous, floral scent that hints at the plant's centuries-old medicinal heritage. On the palate they deliver a light herbal note with a clean, lingering bitterness, making them a natural companion for creamy dishes: think scattered over burrata, stirred into a warm potato soup, or laid across smoked salmon blinis. Calendula has been used in European kitchens and apothecaries since the Middle Ages, and growing it as a microgreen concentrates that same character into a tender, cotyledon-stage leaf that is ready well before the full plant flowers. Start a tray this week and you will have something genuinely unusual on your plate — and in your kitchen's story — within a fortnight.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch5\u003eGROWING INSTRUCTIONS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:10px 0\"\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eFill your tray to about 3–4 cm with moist potting soil or a coco coir mat — give it a gentle press so the surface is level and firm.

Because these seeds are large and curved, a single even pass works well — you'll be able to see the coverage clearly and fill any gaps by hand.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eMist the seeds lightly so they make full contact with the medium, then place an empty tray on top as a lid and add a gentle weight (a filled water bottle works perfectly). Slide the stack into a dark spot at 18–22 °C. Within 24–48 hours you'll feel the tray get warm — that's the seeds germinating.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eLeave in blackout for 4–6 days, checking briefly each day. You'll notice the seeds swelling and the first pale yellow shoots curling upward — bottom-water once on day 2 or 3 if the medium feels dry, by pouring a little water into the bottom tray and letting it absorb upward.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eOnce most shoots reach about 3–4 cm and are pushing against the lid, uncover them and move to a light position — a south-facing windowsill or under a grow light works well. In the next 24 hours you'll watch the pale shoots transform: they straighten up and turn green as chlorophyll kicks in, which is one of the most satisfying moments in microgreen growing.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eBottom-water every 1–2 days, keeping the medium consistently moist but never waterlogged. Good airflow matters here — calendula can be susceptible to damping-off in stagnant, humid air, so a light fan or an open window nearby will keep your crop healthy and fragrant.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eHarvest at 12–14 days when the cotyledons are fully open and a rich medium green. Use clean scissors, cut just above the soil line, and use immediately or refrigerate loosely in a container lined with paper — the subtle floral aroma is at its best within the first day after harvest.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"deliseeds","offers":[{"title":"10 g","offer_id":56586097394051,"sku":"CALENDULA-0010g","price":2.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 g","offer_id":56586097426819,"sku":"CALENDULA-0050g","price":9.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 g","offer_id":56586097459587,"sku":"CALENDULA-0100g","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":56586097492355,"sku":"CALENDULA-0250g","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":56586097525123,"sku":"CALENDULA-0500g","price":49.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":56586097557891,"sku":"CALENDULA-1kg","price":79.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/9336\/9219\/files\/deliseeds-calendula-microgreens-seeds.jpg?v=1774386999","url":"https:\/\/deliseeds.com\/en-dk\/products\/calendula-pot-marigold-microgreens-seeds","provider":"Deliseeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
