Burnet is an attractive, compact perennial herb growing to around 40 cm tall, prized for its fresh, nutty, cucumber-like flavour. The finely divided leaves are delicious in salads, soups, herb butters and sauces, and are traditionally used to flavour cool drinks and vinegars. In addition to its culinary value, Burnet has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, where it was reputed to support wound healing. Rich in minerals including magnesium, it is an easy-to-grow herb that provides fresh foliage over many months of the year.
Approximately 140 seeds per gram
Approximately 70 seeds per packet

Planting / Sowing

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
