Natural Dry Marigold flowers - Marigold - Calendula officinalis

Picking - time and method of marigold Collecting and drying a marigold by the doctor is done as soon as its flowers have fully opened. If you are a little late in harvesting marigold and do not pluck the blossomed flowers for several days, then this will significantly affect the quality of the medicinal raw material. Raw materials can be collected throughout the summer and even in the fall every 3-5 days. In addition, such a staged collection of flower baskets contributes to the formation of new buds and increases productivity. However, during this season, the flowers gradually become smaller as the plant becomes exhausted. With the onset of the first frost, the inflorescences lose most of their useful properties.
