~ Seed for some special FLOWERS ~
They have deep red petals with an orange background. The 5' plants produce multiple heads suitable for cutting, or just admiring at the back of a border. The colour is stunning and the seed would be edible if the sparrows didn't always get there first. Order FLVQ - approximately 14 seed (possibly more, they're hard to measure out exactly!) £2.08 China Cat Sunflower Mix About 6' tall, the nice thing about this is that lots of heads are produced over a long season, so it is ideal for cutting, or just a fancy display in the garden. The seeds are a reasonable size and you could save them to eat or feed the birds. This variety was created by Alan Kapuler of Peace Seeds. To get the multi-heading habit, he crossed 'Gloriosa' with silverleaf sunflowers, and when he finished, he named the variety after the 1972 song by the psychedelic rock band The Grateful Dead. The song is pretty cool, but the sunflowers are even better, and less likely to annoy your neighbours. Order FLCC - 16 seed [OG1] £2.08 Calendula 'FlashBack Mix' ![]() Flashback Mix is an amazingly diverse mix of Calendula ("pot marigolds"). They have been bred for all sorts of different coloured backs to their petals, to contrast with the fronts. In the evening, they fold up their petals for the night, showing off the flashy backs of their flowers. Although they make a beautiful garden flower, Calendula flowers are of course - like everything else in our catalogue - edible. In times past they were used to colour butter, but nowadays their main use is to add to salads. A sprinkling of petals, or even whole flowerheads, is a really nice way to add a bit of colour to a fresh salad. Bred on Gathering Together Farm by Frank & Karen Morton.
