Costa™ Mix Calendula

Costa™ Mix is Syngenta’s formula mix in the compact Costa calendula series. The plants share the series’ upright, well-branched habit and compact garden size. Its early flowering and uniform growth suit small sunny pots and cool-season combinations. ## Garden use and flowering Syngenta lists Costa Mix as a distinct formula mix and recommends the series for 9–13 cm pots. The grower profile describes 25–30 cm height and spread, late spring and summer flowering, and an upright habit. Use it in containers or as a repeated seasonal accent. ## Growing conditions Plant in sun and use light, free-draining soil. Water regularly while plants are growing, particularly in containers, without leaving roots in saturated soil. Calendula can also tolerate partial shade, though flowering is generally strongest with ample light.

Keep pots evenly moist during active growth and allow free drainage.
