Calendula will draw aphids away from valuable plants.  They handle frost and are the only plants to flower in the middle of my -7C winters. Calendulas are an annual which will readily reseed.  They enjoy full sun and even partial shade and can even tolerate average soil. They need a moderate amount of water and if flower production dwindles, you can cut back the plants to promote new blooms.  Calendulas grow best in temperate regions, direct sow seeds rom August to November with a spacing of 25cm.
