{"product_id":"bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-calendula-snow-princess","title":"Calendula Snow Princess","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe calendula that does not look like a calendula. Semi-double daisies opening vanilla-cream with a lemon flush on the petal backs, fading nearly to white as they age. Tall at 50 to 60cm, bred for cutting, and a stem holds seven to ten days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet your expectations on the colour. The buds open pale yellow, not white, and the flowers only reach near-white after several days, so a plant always carries a range from soft yellow through cream to almost-white at the same time. That gradient is attractive in a border and a nuisance if you need twenty uniformly pale stems for an event. Cut a few days ahead and let them fade in water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a real achievement in calendula breeding and a rare one that belongs in a pale wedding bouquet. It is also the variety most likely to disappoint if it self-seeds, because seedlings run back towards yellow within a generation or two. Buy the packet each year rather than saving seed. The petals are edible and pale enough to scatter over a white iced cake without looking odd.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53195301978445,"sku":"CAL-SNW","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/3F60FEA0-0098-4777-A7E4-F2C9B87FA3BD.jpg?v=1772659118","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/bishy-barnabees-cottage-garden-calendula-snow-princess","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
