Every garden should have flowers for their beautiful bright colors and lovely scents, which not only reward the gardener but also attract beneficial insects and repel some pests. Many of the varieties that we offer have other benefits, such as edible flowers, medicinal properties, etc.
We offer an attractive and interesting range of flower which are easy to grow from seed. It is best to start flower off in flats - annual weeds can swamp seedlings as they first emerge. Some flowers listed elsewhere in this catalog are: Vegetables: Runner Beans-especially Painted Lady, Herbs: Borage, Echinacea (Cone Flower), Feverfew, Lavender, GM/Grains: Purple Vetch, Crimson Clover, Quinoa.

| Bright, azure-blue flowers from seed the first year. This is a sun-loving annual for flower beds, the edges of vegetable beds, meadows, and as a "wildflower" in waste areas. 18 to 24". Start in spring for summer bloom. (The other, European forget-me-not is a woodland biennial, blooming the second year and naturalizing in semi-shade and dappled sun.)

The yellow, purple, and lavender flowers can be seen in medieval manuscripts, symbolizing romantic love. Herbal uses include colds, heart, and skin problems. A favorite with children due to its edible flowers, size, fast growth, and “happy face” flowers. |

| Hollyhock, Old-Fashioned Mix |
Alcea rosea.
Dramatic spires of old-fashioned flowers to 8 feet in full sun. Classic along a fence or as a summer screen, now finding new uses as an edible flower. Single flowers in pinks to purple bloom the first season in mild areas (or started indoors 8 weeks before last frost), 2nd year in the north. Start in warm well-drained soil. Needs moisture, fertility, and good air circulation for strong growth. (By the compost pile might be ideal.) Nice focal point in a garden. |
