Marigold (Calendula officinalis), whole

Whole calendula usually means the dried flower heads, including the colorful petals and green base. The plant often called pot marigold is an annual herb in the daisy family. It is distinct from ornamental marigolds in the genus Tagetes

Dried marigold petals have a mild, warm, green-floral scent. They make a colorful, gentle accent in loose incense, though their fragrance may be subtle when heated. Use a small amount, put in the incense bowl and place on a tealight candle burner; avoid placing the petals in direct flame.
