Hemerocallis x ‘Stella D’Oro’
Daylilies are an incredibly easy-to-grow plant that produces an abundance of beautiful blossoms all summer long; what more could you ask for? What if I were to tell you that they can be treated like zucchini blossoms and taste delicious stuffed with cheese and fried?
English Lavender
Lavandula angustifolia
This favourite of many gardeners has quickly become a favourite of pastry chefs worldwide. Lavender can be used in various desserts and pastries, including cookies, scones and ice creams. The floral aromas are well balanced with bright citrus flavours like lemon.
Tip: You can bury dried lavender buds in sugar or steep in cream to infuse the flavour into your desserts without sacrificing texture.
To get your plants
Bonemeal
Placing bonemeal in hole before planting helps to feed the roots for months as it slowly adds nutrients to the soil as it breaks down.
Sumac
(Rhus typhina)
These large, fuzzy clusters of berries are a delicacy in the Middle East, where they often prefer their tart flavour to that of lemons or vinegar. These berries are also packed with Vitamin A, C and antioxidants, making them a healthy addition to your diet.
Sumac berries boast a wide range of uses; they can be ground and mixed with other herbs and spices to make a dry rub for meats such as chicken, lamb and fish and also make a refreshing, crimson red lemonade that is sure to be a favourite at your next summer gathering.
Tip: To make a refreshing, bright crimson lemonade – crush Sumac berries and steep in cold water for 10-15 minutes, add sugar to taste and enjoy!
Adults only! Add gin, sparkling water and a sprig of fresh rosemary to make a refreshing summer cocktail.
