This plant, with its plethora of tiny flowers, blankets compact mounds of delicate, citrus-scented foliage. The flower blooms for an extended period, ideal for beds, borders, and pots, where it draws beneficial insects like ladybugs, hoverflies, butterflies, predatory bugs, and parasitic wasps. The leaves of this flora are edible and serve as a flavorful addition to salads and garnish. It is also commonly known as the signet marigold.
Edible Flowers: These flowers can be used to enhance the appearance of salads and desserts or incorporated in egg or rice dishes. They offer a floral taste with notes of citrus and spice and a slight bitterness. It is recommended to separate the petals from the flower base before eating as the base tends to have a more bitter taste.
