| Almost every store, catalog, and seed display has herbs separated from flowers and they don't usually offer much, if any, info. about the flowers. They just talk about eating it or using it for various home remedies.
So, besides the obvious ones that are also sold as flowers (like echinacea, lavender, salvia, nasturtiums, etc...) what are your favorite herbs that make flowers pretty enough to grow for their appearance?
I like borage and rosemary. |

| Chives. Blossoms are a nice color with an upright habit (and of course I eat them, too.) |

| Among my all time favorite are Murraya, Rosemary, basil and Bay. My most favorite would be Pomrgranate;- Traditional food and medicine. I love it's long beautiful flowering season. I would also mention that it's easy to grow. A few of mine are eye catching trained as Bonsai if I may say so. Supannee

| Common garden sage has lovely purple spikes! And of course, lavender is the ultimate herb/flowering plant. |

| I also love chive flowers, and edible sage. My sage flowered for the first time this spring and I was amazed! (i'm easily amazed...) Bee balm is also very pretty, and lime scented thyme. |

| Don't forget borage! Sky blue[white variety also] star-shaped flowers. They reseed readily. Bees and butterflies love the flowers too. |
