Edible flowers for container gardening in shade?

I'm starting a container garden with a north facing patio (cringe). I gave up a southern view for a a skyline what can i say. So anyway i'm a cook, sometimes profesionaly, and wanted to try to grow and then incorperate some edible flowers into my cooking. Does anyone know any that grow well on little sunlight? I'm going to end up putting it in a closet with a sun lamp in the winter by defualt but would like something that didnt become anemic you know?

Edible flowers for container gardening in shade?
Violets, violas, pansies and nastursiumns. Here is a site that lists many more, plus ways to use them. However, the ones I listed (other than traditional herbs, rosemary, thyme, etc.) are the ones most suited for shade container gardening.

Squash blossom--zucchini for orange flowers. For yellow blooms, try the cucumber! And for white, try gourds--the apple gourd is my favorite. Report It

Reply:Sunflower petals! Many colors and sizes, some will grow in low light--they taste nutty, like the seeds :) Report It

Reply:Try planting Rosemary, parsley,sage, thyme,or even colts-foot for those winter colds and flu's.
Reply:Nasturtiums can tolerate low light in my experience and are tasty and peppery.
