Edible flower gardens???

I was wondering what flowers are edible by humans. I was talking to a friend of mine about this the other day. I am thinking about starting an edible flower garden and I can't remember what flowers are edible.





So here are my questions





1. What flowers are edible?


2. What edible flowers will grow in South Louisiana?


3. Do I treat the edible flower garden like I would my vegetable garden, fruit garden, herb garden, trees, or regular flower beds?


4. What are the advantages to the edible flower gardens vs buying the flowers for eating?

Edible flower gardens???
here's a start...
Reply:The advantage is that you will know, for sure, that the flowers you grow don't have any pesticides on them...and, of course, they'll provide beauty and be much cheaper! .... I know pansies, violets, geraniums, roses and nasturtiums are fine to eat. You might try the Sunset Magazine website; although that magazine is primarily for the west, they'll be able to tell you what flowers are edible. ... I'd think ALL of those flowers will grow in Louisiana, as they do just fine in Southern California and Texas.....
Reply:chamomile roses, many mints like cat-mint


Alliums


The site bellow tells you all of flowers that are edible. Never spray pesticides. #4 is the same as buying veggies vs. growing, more flavor and more crop :)


happy growing!!
