Calendula's have fabulous properties, I will list a few below,

  1. You could use it's leaves to make a poultice for wounds, scratches and grazes.

  2. Flowers can be used for dyes.

  3. It is edible and is used in salads for decor.. It also contains beta-carotene amongst other benefits it stays super pretty :-)
