Papaver rhoeas. Short plants produce small flowers in a mix of reds and pinks with the occasional white. Horton Corn Poppy Mix is hugely productive when compared to the few large blooms of Papaver somniferum varieties. We found this mix in 2004 growing semi-wild in the herb garden at Horton Road Organics in Blachly, Oregon….
Papaver somniferum. Blue breadseed type. The light blue seeds of this variety have a delicious nutty flavor. With stunning dark purple petals, Hungarian Blue Breadseed poppy also makes a beautiful ornamental, especially when a patch or field is flowering all together. This Hungarian heritage variety is super easy to grow and a highly nutritious staple…
Papaver somniferum. An impressively ruffled, bright red peony poppy with slight frosty edges that is sure to get your attention. Peony poppies are known for producing larger flowers that are fully double, and Lucille sports a poof of petals that seem unending. Our stock seed for this variety is from Wild Garden Seed, where it…
Papaver somniferum. Compact plants with lots of frilly bright-purple poppies. Degree of frills seems to be related to growing conditions as plants can form both super-frill and not-so-frill flowers. The unique frilliness provides a fairly open flower that bees and other beneficial insects love to visit. Collected by The Seed Ambassadors Project at the Seedy…
Cucurbita maxima. 105 days. Giant pumpkins are super fun to grow if only because you can’t help but smile at such silly fruit. This strain of Dill’s Atlantic Giant comes from the Pacific Giant Vegetable Growers, the club that hosts the annual Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off in Gervais, Oregon. In 2014, Sarah came in 27th place…
Cucurbita pepo. 90-110 days. Hulless pumpkin seeds (aka, pepitas) are some of the tastiest and most nutritious treats that one can grow in the garden or farm field. They are mind bogglingly delicious when freshly roasted with a little salt. So why not grow your own with Emerald Naked Seeded pumpkin? Our friend Chris Homanics…
Cucurbita pepo. 75 days. This jack-o-lantern is often orange in mid-August from an early June transplanting! We never would have thought it possible without seeing it with our own eyes. Many jacks are late to mature; this one is so early you can forget about planting it until July and probably still have good results….
Cucurbita pepo. 80-90 days. We searched high and low for open pollinated pie pumpkins and were amazed at how few varieties we could get our hands on. After months of scouring the internet and the Seed Savers Exchange, we had 11 varieties, including several heirlooms that came with no description or info beyond the name….
Portulaca oleracea sativa. 50 days. Similar to Munich purslane, but with darker green leaves and thinner stems. French Green Leaf slightly resembles wild purslane but is distinctly different as it grows very upright for easy cutting, and leaves and stems are more succulent with a milder flavor. This variety makes a nice crunchy addition to…
Portulaca oleracea sativa. 50 days. Munich Purslane is a summer salad green with great texture and heat tolerance. Not the weedy relative, this grows tall and sets seed late. It also has much better flavor compared to wild purslane. High in Omega-3 fatty acids, it adds a citrusy tang to summer salads. Its character seems…
Chenopodium quinoa. 80-95 days. The earliest maturing quinoa we have ever grown, or heard of for that matter. Even with such early ripening, Apellewa produces great yields of large, mostly white seeds. We might be biased because it is our most recent amazing quinoa find, but we really were impressed! Slightly variable, mostly cream-gold and…
Chenopodium quinoa. 90-100 days. Our favorite quinoa because of its unique history and excellent performance here in the Willamette Valley. Golden orange seeds. 4-5′ tall plants with seed heads that turn vivid orange when ripe. High yielding compared to other quinoa grown in low elevations. Short season. Open seed heads shed late season damp weather….
Chenopodium quinoa. 100-110 days. One of the best candidates for western Oregon quinoa production.

Seed head color is slightly variable, from orange…
Chenopodium formosanum. 120-130 days. Easy to grow plants are similar to lambsquarters, with a unique pink coloration. Very heat tolerant. The magic happens when they grow over 6′ tall, producing beautiful long trailing flower heads. Flower heads resemble Love Lies Bleeding amaranth and similarly make great cut flowers. Late to mature seed but the plants…
Cichorium intybus. Loose heading and tall heading type. 100-120 days. La Rosa Del Veneto is a pink leafed chicory of the type that has been “having a moment” since at least 2018. We’re hoping that moment is here to stay and that pink chicory will establish itself as more than a niche crop for fancy…
Cichorium intybus. Round heading type. 70 days. After extensive trialing, Palla Rossa Melot is the best open pollinated classic Palla Rossa radicchio we have found. Large, dense round heads of bright red and white leaves have a mild flavor and make a festive addition to the plate. Quicker to head up than many other varieties…
Cichorium intybus. Round heading type. 75 days. An outstanding selection of a solid heading radicchio with a 4-6” tall, elongated shape. Deep red/purple leaves with broad white mid-ribs are nice and crunchy with the tangy bitterness that radicchio is known for. We loved this variety for our winter CSA, as the tight wrapping on the…
Cichorium intybus. Tall heading type. 80 days. Large heads have a deep red leaf color with crunchy white midribs. We have trialed dozens of radicchio varieties over the years and Treviso Mesola is a standout. Italians have many wonderful song-like names for vegetables. This variety is sometimes referred to by its long name, Radicchio Treviso…
Cichorium intybus. Round heading type. 75 days. Another standout from our extensive radicchio trials. Best for fall and early winter harvest. Heads are slightly variable in shape and size but all have a nice red-pink and white variegation, lacking the green of Castelfranco and Luisa types. Large, round heads (think iceberg lettuce) are beautiful and…
Raphanus sativus. Purple Storage. 60-80 days. Storage radish with bright violet skin and white flesh. Mild radish flavor is good raw, cooked, or pickled. Uncommon in the US but a favorite winter staple in Germany. Keeps well in the root cellar, or in the field all winter here in Oregon, as long as the mice…
Raphanus sativus. Pink Bunching. 27 days. Round to slightly oval, crisp roots are bright pink and not too spicy. We are rarely impressed with bunching radishes, but these are just darn good. Pink Beauty is all you could ever want in a bunching radish. An excellent market farm variety, praised as being better than many…
Silene coronaria. Perennial in zones 4-9. Traditionally a very popular, easy to grow flower. Small, magenta blossoms held atop 2-3′ tall, downy silver plants. We find it tolerates neglect better than most plants and will come back perennially for many years. Drought hardy and self seeding – once you get enough going it will naturalize…
Creole type Rosso di Sulmona is a highly sought after Italian garlic variety often simply referred to as “Aglio Rosso”. Flavor is said to be delicate (even sweet for a garlic) and there are many claims of it being the best flavored garlic in Italy or even the world. While we think this is probably…
Rudbeckia hirta. 70-90 days. Large, bright yellow / golden black-eyed Susans form atop exceptionally tall (3’-4’!) stems. Most plants produce 5”-6” fully double flowers with copious amounts of petals, but a few single or semi-double flowers can be expected – all are beautiful! All flower types produced by Gloriosa Double Daisy Rudbeckia seem to last…
Rudbeckia triloba. Perennial in zones 4-8. A tall coneflower / brown eyed Susan with a wild character. Prairie Glow’s small, 2” red flowers with yellow tips perform well as a cut flower both fresh and dried. Bushy plants reach 4’ tall and produce many stems with a purple tint. Feeds birds, bees, and butterflies, but…
Rudbeckia hirta. 60-80 days. Perennial in zones 7-9. Rudbeckia is commonly referred to as black-eyed Susan, but Rustic Colors is not your average black-eyed Susan. Blooms profusely from spring through autumn with 4” daisy-like flowers that range in color from yellow to orange, red and mahogany. Long stems contribute to its strength as a cut…
Rudbeckia hirta. 80-90 days. Perennial to zone 8. Sahara Rudbeckia is one of the flowers in our fields that nearly every visitor pauses to admire, and most say they want to grow.
