Lavender? A spring or fall plant? and also Is it safe to eat? Not really eat, but decorate food with?

You can definitely eat lavender; here in Washington state (U.S. Pacific Northwest), there's a Lavender Festival each year in a little town named Sequim. They make everything from potpourri to candles to candies to cookies using lavender! It blooms mid-summer (July in the northern hemisphere, so presumably December or January in the southern one). I've included a link to the festival web site below. Enjoy :-)

I'm not sure what you mean by the first half of your question.

In the UK Lavender flowers in the late spring/summer.



Safe to eat? Yes indeed. You can add the flowers to both sweet and savoury dishes...

lavender flowers put into a container of sugar and left for a time will produce a wonderful scented sugar for sweet dishes.

Candied lavender flowers for decoration that is edible.



In savoury dishes sprinkle flowers and leaves onto lamb.



But don't use too much, the effect can be strong.
Reply:In the UK it is a summer plant so I suppose it depends on where you live. It certainly likes warmer weather with sunshine.

Do not eat it and I wouldn't decorate food with it either. The flowers can be put into cotton pouches to make a lovely smelling decorations ideal for putting into underwear or bed linen drawers.
