Description
Edimentals (a portmanteau of "edible" and "ornamental") showcases multi-tasking plants that both look beautiful and taste delicious.
The holy grail of plants, edimentals are edible, ornamental plants that taste just as good as they look.
Huw Richards shows you how to grow 100 edible plants with fabulous flowers or foliage, so you can create a beautiful and productive garden or pot display.
Spanning vegetables, herbs, flowers, trees, and shrubs, discover why edimental plants are the multi-tasking heroes of any garden, delivering on visual impact, attracting beneficial insects, and producing tasty crops.
Alongside essential growing information, planting plans illustrate some of Huw's favourite plant combinations to give you inspiration to replicate in your own edimental garden.
From the deep red, drooping flowerheads of amaranth (that produce sweet and nutty seeds perfect for topping porridge or soup) to the bright pop of dahlia flowers (to garnish salads), Edimentals is full of exciting new ways to enjoy a thriving, productive, and beautiful garden.
