I tried using the leaves like tiny taco wraps but it was too peppery for me. I grow them for the hummingbirds.

I did not know you could eat the leaves. Thank you for telling me.

I think you can sprinkle a few leaves in salad like you would use arugula. Also I’ve seen people decorate desserts with the flowers.

### Zander 8a commented on 2026-07-06

So I just wanna make sure can I eat the leaves?

#### ABagel replied on 2026-07-07

The young leaves are better, the older leaves have a bitter aftertaste. I googled it and if you have kidney issues, ulcers, hyperthyroidism, or pregnant or nursing eat something else.

I love the idea with the flowers

### NattieB55 commented on 2026-07-08

I put the flowers on salads, too. Didn’t know you could eat the leaves!
