{"title":"Edible Flowers","description":"\u003cp\u003eBright, beautiful, and delicious - our \u003cstrong\u003eEdible Flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e seed collection is curated for those who wish to grow blooms you can eat! Edible flowers have long been used by chefs to add a pop of color and unique flavors to dishes, and now home growers are joining the trend. This collection features seeds for varieties that produce \u003cstrong\u003egorgeous, palatable blossoms\u003c\/strong\u003e perfect for garnishes, salads, desserts, and cocktails. Grow favorites like \u003cstrong\u003enasturtium\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eviola (pansy)\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecalendula\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eborage\u003c\/strong\u003e, which not only look stunning but also bring surprising flavors (peppery, sweet, or cucumber-like) to the plate. \u003cstrong\u003eCulinary professionals\u003c\/strong\u003e love these flowers - a simple edible bloom can transform the presentation of a dish and command high value on menus. We've chosen hardy, high-germination seeds that thrive in containers and garden beds, so even an urban balcony farmer can raise a crop of colorful petals. Each variety comes with guidance on how to grow and harvest for peak flavor - for instance, picking blossoms in the cool morning preserves their essence. Aside from restaurant use, edible flowers are great fun for \u003cstrong\u003ehobbyist gardeners\u003c\/strong\u003e interested in creative cooking or even DIY floral teas and infusions. Many plants in this range are dual-purpose: nasturtium leaves are tasty edible greens while the flowers bloom in vibrant orange, red or yellow; borage blossoms are brilliant blue and beloved by pollinators as well as chefs. By organizing these varieties under an Edible Flowers collection, we make it easy to find all \"growable garnishes\" in one place. Sow some seeds from this collection and soon you'll be harvesting a rainbow of \u003cstrong\u003esafe-to-eat flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e - bringing aesthetic flair and garden-fresh taste from your plot to your plate.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"calendula-pot-marigold-microgreens-seeds","title":"Calendula (Pot Marigold) - microgreens

distinctive greens you can grow on a windowsill or in a commercial tray — pale-green cotyledons with a faintly resinous, floral scent that hints at the plant's centuries-old medicinal heritage. On the palate they deliver a light herbal note with a clean, lingering bitterness, making them a natural companion for creamy dishes: think scattered over burrata, stirred into a warm potato soup, or laid across smoked salmon blinis. Calendula has been used in European kitchens and apothecaries since the Middle Ages, and growing it as a microgreen concentrates that same character into a tender, cotyledon-stage leaf that is ready well before the full plant flowers. Start a tray this week and you will have something genuinely unusual on your plate — and in your kitchen's story — within a fortnight.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch5\u003eGROWING INSTRUCTIONS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:10px 0\"\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:flex-start\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"flex-shrink:0;width:28px;height:28px;min-width:28px;background:#234431;color:white;border-radius:50%;display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;margin-top:2px;line-height:1\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;color:#374151;padding-top:4px\"\u003eFill your tray to about 3–4 cm with moist potting soil or a coco coir mat — give it a gentle press so the surface is level and firm.

Grown as a microgreen it gives pale green stems and broad, oval seed leaves covered in fine, soft hairs. The taste surprises most people: fresh cucumber with a hint of melon and a faint, clean bitterness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'DM Sans',system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;color:#374151;margin:10px 0 16px\"\u003eBorage takes longer than most microgreens. The large seeds need a few days to wake up, the tray stays 4–6 days in the dark and you cut it 14–17 days after sowing. In return you get a flavour no other microgreen in the range has, and broad leaves that look good on a plate. Water from below and give the tray good airflow: damp, still air around large seeds invites mould.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'DM Sans',system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;color:#374151;margin:10px 0 16px\"\u003eWhy 70 g per tray? Borage seeds are large, about 50 to the gram, so a dense tray needs much more seed by weight than small-seeded crops such as broccoli or radish. Sowing 60–70 g gives a full, even crop of broad leaves; much less leaves gaps between the seedlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch5\u003eIN THE KITCHEN\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'DM Sans',system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;color:#374151;margin:10px 0 16px\"\u003eUse borage microgreens raw, wherever cucumber would fit: in green salads, on chilled soups, stirred into yoghurt dips, with smoked fish and soft cheeses, in sandwiches and summer rolls, or as a garnish for lemonade and gin drinks.

Grown plants of the Alaska type are known for leaves marbled with cream, but as a microgreen, cut 14–17 days after sowing, it gives large, round, plain green leaves on pale green to pinkish stems. The leaves are shaped like small shields, with the stem attached in the middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'DM Sans',system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;color:#374151;margin:10px 0 16px\"\u003eThe taste is the main reason to grow it: a sharp, peppery heat that builds slowly and lingers longer than radish. The name says as much. Pliny the Elder explained the Latin word nasturtium as ‘nose-torment’, after the sharp taste of cress, and old English books call the garden nasturtium ‘Indian cress’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'DM Sans',system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;color:#374151;margin:10px 0 16px\"\u003eThe seeds are big, about 7.5–8.5 to the gram, with a hard coat. Soak them, lay them out by hand in a single layer and cover them with a thin layer of soil, which keeps them moist and in close contact with the soil. The start is slow and uneven, so don't give up on a tray that still looks empty after a few days in the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch5\u003eIN THE KITCHEN\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:'DM Sans',system-ui,sans-serif;font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;color:#374151;margin:10px 0 16px\"\u003eUse Alaskan Green nasturtium raw and chop the larger leaves. It suits tacos and quesadillas, scrambled eggs and omelettes, potato and pasta salads, vinaigrettes and herb butter, and green sauces such as pesto or chimichurri, where it can replace part of the herbs and add heat.

They look striking on pale food such as risotto, burrata, creamy soups or white fish, and half a tray of Empress of India next to green nasturtium gives a two-tone harvest.

The seeds are large, about 8 to the gram, and have a hard coat, so they need a soak and take several days to come up, not all at once.
