Edible Flowers - Seed kit

with the power to add seasoning and freshness to your food.

For this 'edible flowers' seed kit, we selected the most attractive looking, wonderfully delicious culinary flowers for adding decorum to your table and to infuse your salads and meals with summery playfulness.

• Borage (Borago officinalis)
  Fresh chopped borage leaves lend a beautiful flavour to any cucumber salad, homemade dip or crème cheese spread and they also form one of the essential ingredients needed for preparing 'Frankfurter Grünen Sauce', the famous green sauce from Frankfurt. Its small, star-shaped blue flowers are also delicious added to salads, puddings and wild herb soups.
• Chop Suey Green (Chrysanthemum coronarium)
  The chop suey green plant forms beautiful and very aromatic yellow or yellow-white flowers, which are an essential spice for the traditional Chinese chrysanthemum-hotpot. The plant's leaves can also be used as herbs to season dishes.
• Lemon marigold / golden marigold (Tagetes tenuifolia)
  A luxuriant flowering ornamental & spice plant with bright yellow edible flowers with citrus aroma. Frost-sensitive insect magnet.
• Garden nasturtium/ Monks cress/ Indian cress (Tropaeolum majus)
  The garden nasturtium grows as an annual plant with garland-like, trailing stems and lots of extraordinarily large, vibrant orange-yellow flowers, in our climate. Their sharp flavour is surprisingly pronounced and not unlike cress.

The seeds of each variety are packaged in a separate sachet.

The seed sachets and detailed growing instructions in German and English are packed in a beautiful gift box - a great, sustainable gift for the garden. Any plant lover will be pleased.
