Edimentals are currently having their moment in the spotlight, but don't be fooled, this is not some new, genetically engineered plant category to get your head around. Put simply, edimentals are ornamental plants that also happen to be edible. Think fennel, with its feathery foliage and golden blooms, or rhubarb, with textured leaves and vibrant pink-red stalks that look as good as they taste.
As gardening trends shift toward sustainability and functionality, the case for edimentals over traditional bedding plants is stronger than ever. Why settle for one-dimensional petunias, pansies or begonias when you could fill your borders with plants that offer visual impact and a homegrown harvest?
