Safflower Seeds

(Carthamus tinctorius) Attractive and utilitarian, safflower is a delightful addition to any garden. The bright flowers bring a splash of color to any dish and have even been used to dye fabrics for centuries. The tender shoots can be enjoyed in salads, and the edible seeds can be pressed for their flavorful and aromatic oil. With a deep taproot, it does not transplant well.
