White Phlox Edible Flower Seeds

White Phlox Edible Flower Seeds for Star-Shaped Blooms White phlox edible flower seeds produce masses of crisp white, star-shaped flowers on compact, well-branched plants. Their neat growth and abundant blooms make them particularly useful for edible flower gardens, pots, borders and smaller spaces where you want strong flower performance without tall or sprawling growth. The delicate flowers have a mild, lightly sweet floral flavour and can be used in small quantities as an attractive finishing touch. Their clean white colour works especially well where a subtle, elegant edible garnish is preferred. Edible White Flowers for Garnishes & Desserts Fresh phlox flowers can be used to decorate salads, cakes, desserts, fruit plates, canapés and serving platters. Their petite size also makes them suitable for floating on chilled drinks or adding fine detail to celebration cakes and other culinary presentations. Harvest freshly opened flowers close to when they will be used and select clean, undamaged blooms grown specifically for culinary use. Compact Flowers for Pots, Borders & Hanging Baskets Annual phlox develops a compact, upright-to-mounded habit with strong branching and numerous flowering stems. It performs well in patio pots, planter boxes, hanging baskets, garden borders, raised beds and mass plantings. The flowers also attract visiting pollinators, while improved tolerance of warm conditions helps plants continue performing as temperatures rise. Group several plants together for a dense white display or combine them with contrasting seasonal flowers. Grow White Phlox from Seed in Australia Annual phlox is best started in seedling trays where temperature and moisture can be controlled, although direct sowing is also possible once outdoor conditions are suitable. The seed is lightly covered and kept evenly moist under moderate warmth. Once established, plants prefer plenty of light, well-drained soil and regular moisture without waterlogging. Good airflow and a light trim after a major flowering flush can help maintain tidy plants and encourage further blooms.
