Petunia, Superbissima Cosmic Cherry
Truly one of the most whimsical flowers we have ever seen! These mammoth blooms are bursting with cherry flavor! The flower heads have ruffled edges and reach a whopping 7 inches across, in a mix of magenta to violet colors. This variety from Cerny Seed Company in the Czech Republic is a favorite in the Baker Creek trial garden… and the kitchen! This edible flower has a delicious cherry flavor that can be used in baking and homemade beverages. We enjoyed making doughnuts using these petunias to impart that essential cherry flavor note. Add this fantastic mix to pots, beds, borders and children’s gardens for a touch of magic.
