Grow your own edible flowers! It’s easier than you think!

✤ Choose delicious blooms.

Some of the most popular edible flowers are also the most common, including citrusy marigolds, tangy chrysanthemums and mildly sweet pansies!

✤ Pick the perfect pot.

Inexpensive, unglazed terracotta pots help soil retain moisture and roots stay cool, so your plants are healthy and bloom big! ✤ To guarantee your flowers are safe to eat, fertilize them with an organic product made for fruits and vegetables, such as Jobe’s Organics Fertilizer Spikes for Bountiful Vegetables, $1.29, Target.com.

Opt for organic.
