The plants have deep wine-red stems and stunning pale yellow flowers with a red center. The seeds, leaves, fruit and roots are edible and can be used for culinary and medicinal purposes. The calyxes have a tangy cranberry like flavor and are used in sauces and jams as well as to flavour tea. The seeds roasted and ground down, makes a good coffee substitute. The young leaves can be cooked like spinach.

We strongly recommend that you start them on a heating pad and only plant out once the soil has really warmed up.
