Sunflowers need no introduction. Everyone is familiar with these tall, striking plants with their cheerful, large flowers. What is less well known is that the petals are edible. Try adding them as an edible and colourful garnish to salads or other dishes. Sunflower seeds are also edible and can be used in all kinds of dishes or as a healthy snack. This easy-to-grow, fast-growing plant deserves a nice spot in your garden. Children also enjoy growing sunflowers themselves. Sunflowers bloom from July till October.
