HEIRLOOM Perfect for companion planting, French Brocade is barely one foot tall, brilliantly bursting with dozens of gorgeous blooms. Her edible petals have floral, citrus, and bitter notes too. Tucked between cabbages, at the ends of beds and along fences for a bright border, French Brocade also thrives in containers!
