It's a lovely one to grow if you want a flower that earns its keep twice over, once as a cut flower and again as an edible garnish with a genuine spicy, clove-like flavour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePick the petals fresh and scatter them over a salad or a cheese board for a hit of colour and flavour, or crystallise a few for an elegant finishing touch on a cake or dessert. The flowers themselves are wonderfully perfumed, so even a small patch near a path or window will scent the air as you walk past. Because the plants flower over a long period, you'll have blooms to pick right through the warmer months, whether your priority is a full vase indoors or a steady trickle of petals for the kitchen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs a certified organic seed line, this mix suits gardeners who want to grow their edible flowers without synthetic inputs from the start. Being an annual, Volcano Mix is a straightforward one to fit into a garden plan each year, whether that's a dedicated cutting patch, a border among vegetables, or a spot close to the kitchen door where the petals are easy to reach.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Organic Dianthus Volcano Mix\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSow from October through to February in a good quality seed raising mix. Dianthus germinates best at a soil temperature of 18–25°C and typically sprouts in 7–14 days. Transplant seedlings once large enough to handle into a sunny, well-drained spot. Plants reach 40–60cm in height and come into flower around 70–80 days from transplant. Regular picking, whether for the vase or the kitchen, will encourage more blooms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kings Seeds NZ","offers":[{"title":"50 seeds","offer_id":49220081746228,"sku":"O6129.pkt","price":0.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/0555\/6276\/files\/O6129-W.png?v=1785300364","url":"https:\/\/www.kingsseeds.co.nz\/products\/organic-dianthus-volcano-mix","provider":"Kings Seeds NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
