Triangle Flashback Organic Calendula Seed
Beautiful pink and copper-toned blooms on healthy, vigorous plants.
1 1/2–3" blooms have a bronze center with some hints of peach. Colors are comparable to Flashback Mix, but with a slightly narrower color range—less gold and orange tones, more copper/pink. Triangle Flashback is also known as Zeolights.
• Edible Flowers: Petals of the flowers can be used fresh or dried in "flower confetti," soups, soufflés, rice dishes, baked goods, and to garnish desserts. Calendula is a popular choice for brightening up salad mix. Flavor is tangy and slightly bitter. Remove the petals from the flower base before consuming as the base can be quite bitter.
USDA Certified Organic. Ht. 18–24". Avg. 5,400 seeds/oz. Packet: 50 seeds.
