Plenty of easy-to-grow flowers that bring energy and beauty to your garden are also completely edible and can be used to infuse food and drinks with unusual flavors and eye-catching colors. Here are eight edible flowers that look as good as they taste.
These romantic perennials are easy to grow in containers or the ground, as long as they receive six or more hours of sunlight a day and are in well-drained soil. Prune them in the spring for the best blooms in the summer. The dried petals are often showcased in sweets, but Stern says they work just as well in savory dishes. “In Persian culture, they put rose petals on roasted chicken or rice dishes,” she says. “I like sprinkling them on savory yogurt dips, too.
The petals contain a high liquid content, so they aren’t the best contenders for pressing or dehydrating. “But their big leaves are great tossed in a fresh salad as if they were a lettuce,” says Stern.“If you plant borage once, you will probably always have borage because it grows very easily,” says Bunting. Sow seeds for the annual herb in late spring, either in a container or directly into the ground, then just sit back and watch it flourish.
