小挖掘者 金蓮花 '瓢蟲'

The seed pods were so large and easy for my little ones to handle, they planted a whole row in under ten minutes. The first flowers have these amazing dark red spots that really do look like a ladybird's shell, and the leaves have just the right amount of peppery kick.

The kids were absolutely delighted by how easy these large seeds were for their little fingers to plant. We've already added the peppery leaves to salads, and the bright spotted flowers look gorgeous on the plate.

The big seeds made them perfect for my toddler's clumsy fingers, and we already have spicy little leaves sprouting in just a week. The spotted flowers are exactly what I hoped for.
