Hi Rachelle! If you’re using the flowers in a salve, it’s completely fine to leave the green parts on.
The leaves are used in salve making also (I have a recipe for that on this site too), so the green parts and leaves are fine for external use.
For the infused oil yield: it depends on the size of the jar that you start with, but however much it makes, you’ll weigh out 3 ounces for the salve.
You’ll have leftover oil for future projects. :)

I want to make sure I infuse it correctly. For the flowers do I need to pick them and remove whatever green parts I can and JUST have the blossoms?
