In reply to Julie Wolf. Hi Julie, The seeds I plant for calendula come from many unique varieties and I find that the seeds can look very different. Some are small and dark as you say, while others are the larger shell-like spikey light coloured ones. I would think that if you are getting different looking seeds it could be from different varieties. To test the viability of your particular seeds, why not do a germination test? Put 10 seeds in a damp paper towel and put that in plastic someplace warm. Check daily for germination and log the results of how many of the 10 were viable.

Seed Question: How about the small tightly curved dark inner ones? Are they seeds and are they more or less viable then the outer larger lighter spiky seeds?

I am a big fan of calendula-mostly as a flower in my garden, but I do use calendula oil to treat minor abrasions and find that it works quite well! Your photos are gorgeous and I am finding myself envious of your garden.
