Not all flowers are edible, so you need to be sure you are selecting the right flowers to eat.  Some examples are:

  • Bachelor's button,  Centaurea cyanus

  • Beebalm, Monarda didyma

  • Calendula, Calendula officinalis

  • Chives, Allium schoeonoprasum

For a complete list of all of the edible flowers and when they bloom please see the 2 tables in the fact sheet "Edible Flowers."
