Every part of this plant that grows above ground is edible. The leaves and flowers offer a subtle, sweet flavour and can be consumed immediately after being picked or preserved by drying.

Sow: shallow sow in autumn for germination the following spring.
Lifecycle: perennial broadleaf weed which spreads by seed, and by low creeping branched stems which root at the nodes.
