Callendula is on-list in the evidence table. This is the record's computed planting direction, presented before its supporting context.

The basis is limited evidence. The source table leaves the strength beside the direction, preventing the on-list result from sounding broader than its cited support.

The page is a genus-rank umbrella record. The cited rows preserve that printed scope for Callendula, rather than silently distributing the conclusion among individual species. Each of the three selected facts stays visible for its own reader question. This separation prevents one evidence job from masking another.

How to read this page

The status above is computed from the cited rows below: independent recommendations can support a fire-resistant result, an avoid row can produce keep-away, and disagreement stays visible as conflict. Placement notes preserve each source’s own scheme rather than translating unlike rules into one scale. This is evidence about a plant, not permission to plant it in every part of the defensible space; Zone 0 remains noncombustible.

The evidence

Grouped by what each source concluded. Primary evidence rated the plant itself (a lab, field program, or original curation); corroboration compiled or republished another source's rating and resolves to its root lineage.
