Ringblomma, Radio

Flowering, easy to grow and well-known. The variety has full flowers with long, narrow petals in orange. Beautiful to grow in beds and kitchen gardens. Great for cutting. Will readily go to seed if the flowers are allowed to wither and the seeds to remain. The brightly colored petals can be eaten, decorative in salads and drinks. Thrives in nutrient-rich and well-drained soil, but is frugal. Water when dry. Cut away wilted flowers as time goes by. The plant can be plowed down as a green manure in the autumn.
