Calendula officinalis
Minimum seed count: 50
 
Also known as Pot Marigold, this cheery plant is as useful as it is pretty.  The flowers are edible and petals can add a splash of color to salads and any other dish you can think of.  They are also medicinal, and one of the very best skin-healing herbs.  Infuse flowers into oil to make balms and saves that will sooth cuts and rashes.  Taken internally, calendula tea or tincture is equally healing to the lining of the gut.
