Description

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.

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.

How do I use edible flowers in baking?

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.

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?

We always aim to make sure our customers love our products, but if you do need to return an order within 14 days of purchase (not including plants*), or any items are damaged, we’re happy to help. Just email us directly at hello@growtropicals.com, and we’ll take you through the process. 

Please note: we cannot be held liable for any packaging costs should the original packaging be discarded.

*Unfortunately we cannot accept returns of undamaged plants as these are perishable items and are not saleable upon return. If a plant is damaged, we will compensate for this as per our live arrival guarantee.

When will my order arrive and how much is shipping?

When placing your order, you can choose from three dispatch speeds to suit your needs: Economy (prepared and shipped within 4-5 days), Standard (3-5 days), or Express (dispatched the very next day). Please keep in mind that "dispatch" refers to the time it takes our team to prepare and pack your items before handing them over to the courier, not the total delivery time.

Shipping costs are based on your total order value and will be calculated at checkout, with free shipping automatically applied to all orders over £60. For a full breakdown of shipping prices see our Help Centre.

Additionally, to protect the health and quality of our live plants, orders containing plants are exclusively shipped Monday through Thursday. This careful scheduling prevents your plants from being stuck in a dark shipping depot over the weekend, ensuring they arrive at your door vibrant and healthy.
