They are pretty, they are delicious and the Bee's and Butterflies love them too! Need any more reasons to grow edible flowers?
Lot's of flowers are edible, meaning they won't poison you ;) But not all are tasty, some are bland while others are just plain bitter.
Pot Marigold's petals look lovely in a salad or frozen in ice cubes.
The electric blue flowers of Centaurea cynaus look stunning when served as a garnish!
Pepperbox Poppies have edible seeds, great in dressings and on desserts.

Chive blossoms are fantastic served in soups and salads... but why just grow them as a clump?!! Check out this 2 minute video to see how I turned my clump of chives into a beautiful herb bed border!
