Pot Marigold Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Pot Marigold (Calendula officinalis) is a short-lived perennial, usually grown as an annual, of the daisy family, Asteraceae, native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean and now grown in gardens worldwide. It reaches 30 to 60 cm with sticky, aromatic, pale green lanceolate leaves and bright orange or yellow daisy-like flower heads 4 to 7 cm across that open in the morning and close toward evening. The curved, ridged seeds are shaped like small boats and claws. We extract the dried flower.
