beautiful colour - you know I've never grown any but the dark red variety - what is the general consensus on flavour difference, any comments  :)

Calendula - the concensus of my opinion is sweeter, less earthy & NO STAINING OF ALL OTHER FOOD!! Those are in a sweetish vinaigrette.

Jenny - I think there are several, but we grow Burpees Golden. All are less regular in germination than their red friends, so I usually pre-germinate.

Only in reliability of germination.
