Key benefits

  • Grow edible flowers to decorate biscuits and cakes
  • Pansy, Sweet William and cornflower seeds in one box
  • All three grow well in pots and window boxes
  • Flowers bring bees into the garden
  • Gift box with growing tips and recipes inside

Grow your own cake decorations: this boxed set of three edible flowers gives you petals to press into biscuits, crystallise or scatter over a sponge. The collection pairs pansies (Viola x wittrockiana) in a bright mix of colours, Sweet William (Dianthus barbatus) with its fringed, clove-scented flowers, and cornflowers (Centaurea cyanus) in blue, pink and white. All three are easy from seed, look good in the garden and bring in bees, and the box makes a thoughtful present for anyone who bakes.

Sowing and growing

  • Pansy 'Clear Crystals Mix': sow indoors January to March for summer flowers, or June to July for autumn and spring colour; 15 to 20 cm tall
  • Sweet William 'Holborn Glory': a hardy biennial; sow outdoors May to July to flower the following June and July; about 45 cm tall
  • Cornflower 'Polka Dot Mix': a hardy annual; sow outdoors March to May, or September for earlier flowers; flowers June to September, about 40 cm tall
  • All three like sun and well-drained soil, and grow well in pots and window boxes
  • Pick flowers in the morning, use only blooms that have not been sprayed, and remove the green parts before use

What you receive: a Piccolo Seeds gift box containing three packets of open-pollinated seed: Pansy 'Clear Crystals Mix', Sweet William 'Holborn Glory' and Cornflower 'Polka Dot Mix', each with growing instructions, plus growing tips and recipes inside the box.

The packets are also sold singly as pansy seeds, Sweet William seeds and cornflower seeds. Find more presents in our gift ideas or browse the full seed range.

How to use

Press whole pansies onto biscuits before baking, brush petals with egg white and caster sugar to crystallise them, or scatter fresh cornflower petals over iced cakes. Flowers are best picked the morning you use them and kept in a sealed box in the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these flowers safe to eat?

Pansy flowers, cornflower petals and Sweet William petals are all traditional edible flowers. Use blooms you have grown yourself without sprays, and for Sweet William pull the petals away from the slightly bitter base before using them.

Is this collection a good gift?

Yes. The seeds come in a printed Piccolo gift box with growing tips and recipes inside, so it suits keen bakers and new gardeners alike. All three flowers grow happily in pots, so no garden is needed.

What is your returns policy?

Changed your mind? You can return pots, gifts, accessories and other non-plant items. Email hello@growtropicals.com with your order number within 14 days of delivery, then send the item back within 14 days of telling us. You pay the return postage.

Items must come back unused and in their original condition. If an item has been used, we may reduce your refund by the value it has lost, and for used items this can be the full price.
