Compact enough for a hefty planter yet bold enough to stop traffic, this design bursts with orange, yellow and multicolored brushstrokes against a lush green backdrop — like a tiny, edible art installation. One plant reaches 48" and one needs a trellis, which adds architectural drama.
Meet the cast: a whimsical tomato developed by a French breeder and evoking the wild tomatoes of Central America, a seriously fiery yet complex pepper that makes hot sauces and salsas sing, elegant green onions with over 1,300 years of cultivation history, a stunning safflower doubling as poor man's saffron, and a carpet of edible violas with blooms so pretty they belong on a wedding cake.
5 plant varieties, 15 plants total — a little bit spicy, a little bit fancy, and a whole lot of fun.
Suggested trellis topiary: https://www.arusticgarden.com/72wrirsu.html in warm caramel or cinnamon color.
Recipe ideas:
Tomato and green onion sandwiches.
Hot sauce or salsa made with this hot pepper.
Safflower flavored rice.
Viola sprinkled on dessert or salad.
