Description

A brilliant acid-green cut flower filler, with so many different roles. The leaves are invaluable in the kitchen, I use its flowers for decorating salads and for arrangements, and the seeds for baking and tagines.

As a cut flower, it's good with whites and blues or rich, brilliant colours to heighten their contrasts. This will self-sow freely.

Care Tips

Don’t allow plants to sit in very wet soil, water is only needed whilst establishing a tap-root and in extreme times of drought. Plants will self-sow freely and may require some support.
