What are some edible flowers I can plant? And which parts of the plants?

This is my first year planting a garden and I want to know if some of the flowers I am planting are edible, and, if so, which parts. I am planting Marigolds, Sunflowers, and Zinnias right now, but I can always plant more. Please be specific with which parts I can and cannot eat

oliander, no, wait, I think thats deadly, don't eat it.
Reply:Almost all herbs - chives, sage, thyme, sweet woodruff, basil, dill, cilantro, dandelions, all parts of these are edible, and depending what zone you live in, these are either perennial or will reseed themselves - so you'll have them back every year!
Reply:Most lilies including tiger lilies and day lilies have edible petals.


Mint also has edible leaves and they grow very fast, they take over gardens quickly. Sage, Thyme, Oregano and Basil are other popular herbs with edible leaves. Happy planting!
Reply:nasturtiums for one~whole plant
