Growing Info:
March-May, Sow outdoors, 2 seeds together, 1.5cm deep, every 45cm in pre-watered, finely prepared soil. When seedlings appear, remove the weaker one. Keep well-watered until established and protect seedlings from late frosts. Alternatively, sow indoors March-May and grow on in a cold frame or greenhouse, planting out when risk of frost has passed.
Aftercare:
Seedlings sown outdoors may need protection from garden pests, such as slugs. Once flowers have finished, the dead flowerheads can be left on the stems to feed local birds.

Edible Flowers Guide
Choosing to grow edible flowers means you can enjoy them first outdoors as plants and then again indoors as an ingredient. Picking a handful of fresh petals to sprinkle on a salad takes seconds but transforms it into something ‘colourful, summery and special’ all in one.
