Description

Minimum 25 seeds

Soft blush/rose pink blooms with a full appearance. Early single-stem, or column-type stock in a highly uniform series for one-cut harvest. Tightly spaced florets on the flower spike make for compact 1 1/2–2" blooms. Cold weather crop - does well in spring and fall.
NOTE: This variety produces one flowering stem per plant. Pinching is not advisable as it will terminate flowering.

Edible Flowers: The peppery, clove-like flavor of the flowers lends itself well to use as a garnish on salads, desserts, and drinks.
