Description

Crown Daisy (Glebionis coronaria), also known as Garland Chrysanthemum or Shungiku, is a versatile heirloom double-duty plant widely grown in Asian cuisine for its aromatic edible foliage and bright daisy-like blooms. The tender young serrated leaves deliver a unique, herbal-rich flavor with subtle peppery pine notes, making them a delicious addition to stir-fries, hot pots, soups, and fresh salads. If left to mature, plants produce an abundance of cheerful yellow and white flowers that attract beneficial pollinators to the garden.
