(Bladder Campion, Stridolo) An Italian heirloom, with toothsome, lance-shaped leaves giving rise to sprays of delightful, inflated flowers to a height of 18 inches. The inflated calyx is pink to green, and the flowers are purely white. The fresh leaves are used to flavor risotto, omelettes and sauces. The flavor is mild and may be likened to tarragon. This plant is extremely easy to grow from seed. Sow in greenhouse in early spring and work up in pots, or sow directly in the garden bed in spring to early summer. Given the unobtrusive nature of Sculpit, it works very well to companion with other species such as Echinacea, violets, etc. Harvest the leaves with scissors–they will soon regrow for another pick! Space plants 1 foot apart.
