With warm tones of orange, apricot and caramel, these 2- to 3-inch, bronzed blooms add a layer of elegant transition to your beds. When deadheaded, the 24-inch tall plants will continue to bloom until frost and pleasantly self-sow. Versatile addition to your garden not only as a cut flower, but as a medicinal, edible and a host to beneficials and pollinators.

This lovely old-fashioned variety features many-petaled flowers in warm apricot, brushed with creamy yellow, held atop tall stems. The edible petals and flowers are lovely strewn across a summer salad, and are a great add to breads and healing balms. The blooms of this 2-foot tall plant are also ideal cut flowers.

Peachy-pink, double-flowered, frilly, 2 to 3 inch blooms on strong stems make ‘Pink Surprise’ an excellent candidate for both fresh and dried floral arrangements. The tangy petals of this self-sower are also edible — sprinkle on salads, decorate cakes or feed them to chickens to produce dark colored yolks.

This edible and medicinal 1930s HEIRLOOM has continued to stand the test of time. Blooms are comprised of an array of rich, orange quill-like petals enveloping sunny yellow centers when fully open.  This annual, reaching 2-feet tall, pleasantly self-sows and will continue to bloom through frost when deadheaded. A great splash of color for your beds and borders, and like Arnica or St. John’s Wort, a valuable tool in your first-aid kit!
