From your friends at Botanical Interests: Fairy pink petals with a yellow base and maroon backside add a new twist to this traditional English Cottage Garden flower. It blooms in spring to early summer and gets 12" to 24" tall. Though it is an annual, it may self-sow and return the following year. It does best in full sun, but can take some light shade. The edible petals are an elegant gourmet addition to salads, sandwiches, or used as a pretty garnish. It also makes a lovely cut or dried flower for arrangements.
