More than just good looks, this annual and perennial mix is completely edible! In bright colors of orange, blue, yellow, and pink, you'll not only enjoy their color all season, but also the many ways you can use them. Savor the range of flavors, from peppery calendula and arugula, to clove-like bachelor's button, and the light onion flavor of chives. Add to salads, soups, and cooked dishes, and make herb butter, vinegars, and flavored drinks. The culinary possibilities are endless!

Good mix

Jun 2, 2019

The borage, arugula, fennel and radish will take over your garden if you don't spread the seeds thinly enough. The other flowers seem to be more delicate and have a hard time, so you can separate the seeds and start them inside. Deer will devour your borage, so fence it in or put hot sauce on them to protect them. Overall, I had a great experience with these. Huge variety, low matinence. Even if you aren't a great gardener, something from this pack will grow for you.

Disappointed

I was excited to plant the "Edible Beauties" mix. I carefully Planted in a pot. Guess what? All I got were radishes and one nasturtium. Really? If I wanted radish, I would have purchased radish seeds. I am disappointed to say the least.

A lovely low maintenance mix, great for our rooftop garden!

A bunch of lettuces + radishes

Jun 15, 2020

Hello, I planted these seeds on May 1 and today is June 15. I've plucked 2 radishes out from the group and now I just have a bunch of leaves/lettuces? Were there any flowers in this blend? How long does it take to see flowers start to bloom? Also, do I pluck the leaves + roots from the soil or do I just snip the lettuces and harvest to eat them? Disappointed that I don't see any flowers yet.

Diana

Owner Response: Hi Diane, Thanks for the questions. This mix is designed to provide fun, easy, and fairly quick edible flowers, such as the ones that would have grown from the radishes. There isn't any lettuce in this mix. Maybe the leaves you are seeing are arugula or another plant that will produce edible flowers with patience. Flowering for some of these species can be in 60 days or so depending on the conditions. Just let them be (don't harvest) and they will naturally produce flowers in their own time.
