- Ryan R.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars4/16/26Blooming beautifully (almost)
Plants are doing well after 6 weeks. Seeds germinated nicely. I know I need to thin, but I have a question. Are any of the greens beside nasturtium edible? Or should I stick to blossoms only?
Here in Southern California, this mix is doing wonderful
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateBIBotanical Interests4/19/26Hey Ryan,
We're so happy to hear your Edible Beauties Flower Mix Seeds are blooming beautifully after 6 weeks! Great germination is always exciting to see. To answer your question - while nasturtiums are definitely the star when it comes to edible greens in this mix, most of the other varieties are grown primarily for their gorgeous edible blossoms rather than their leaves. You'll get the best flavor and experience sticking to the beautiful flowers they produce! Southern California weather is just perfect for this mix - you're going to have such a stunning and tasty display! Keep on growing 🌻️

I had such high hopes for this - a la the Lost Kitchen. I planted in a flower box and followed planting and care instructions. Unfortunately it remained green for almost its entire lifespan, and had very few flowers.

- Rachel M.Verified ReviewerRated 3 out of 5 stars8/9/25Overall enjoyable
I’m pretty happy with this mix overall. I’m limited on space and didn’t know what to expect so I planted it in a relatively shallow planter box that was about 1.5X3 ft. The borage outgrew everything else and then toppled over as it does but attracted a ton of pollinators. I liked those little wild radish pods too. I also got a few zennias cornflowers and a couple nasturtiums out of it. It’s kinda scraggly looking now that it’s in its later stages but I might plant it again a bit thinner next year and also divide it up more as they’re developing. It was pretty fun to try some new edible plants and it dressed up my salads and cocktails for months.

It's awesome that you got to enjoy fresh additions to your salads and cocktails for months — that's what edible gardening is all about!

This edible beauty mix is interesting. I've never planted from seed before! The majority have sprouted. Mostly it's a lot of borage and arugula. If I knew then what I know now, I would spread the seed MUCH MUCH lighter. Gosh, I also wish I had researched the individual plants before spreading it. I would have likely sorted the seeds a little better. The borage is taking over. I had no idea. Also insane amount of arugula. I've had hoards of grasshoppers and ants this year, but it's still looking good! But I do wish I knew better what I was planting. My bad. Maybe the chickens will eat the greens? We'll see. Wow, I wish I would have thinned it out. I've got a lot of fetchin "Lettuce" growing haha.
