Lemon Sorbet Calendula

Lemon Sorbet Calendula is a selection from the remnants of an insectary blend that we grew in the early days of our farm in 2009(!). We discovered one barely irrigated plant that produced light pastel yellow blossoms. Over the past number of years we have working up a larger population of plants and continued to select for variegated lemon-yellow-white pastel shades.
