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…
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…
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.

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.

Salvia officinalis. Perennial in zones 5-9. This improved strain of common/garden sage has a high essential oil content making it excellent for culinary and medicinal use. Fast and easy to grow from seed. We especially love to fry up fresh leaves until they’re crispy and serve them with pork chops. We also use Extrakta Sage…
Antirrhinum majus. 60-70 days. We’re big fans of dark flowers; deep dark purples and reds are always welcome in our gardens.

Blooms early and…

Antirrhinum majus. 50-60 days A stunning example of that magical orange-peach flower color that appears to glow like an eye candy sunset. We love this quality of color wherever we can find it, and Orange Wonder snapdragon is so spectacular that everyone who saw it in our field stopped in their tracks to admire it….
Sorghum bicolor. 90 days. By the far the earliest maturing grain sorghum we’ve grown. 7′ tall plants have one goal in mind and that is to make grain. Sugar content of the stalks and quantity of forage is not huge, which helps it mature grain so early. Sorghum flour is delicious and makes excellent gluten-free…
Sorghum bicolor. 110 days. We received this beautiful grain from our friend Tim Peters back in 2005 when we drove around the back roads of Douglas County, Oregon collecting samples from his guerrilla perennial grain breeding projects. We saw many perennialized clumps growing back year after year and were intrigued. Although we have succeeded growing…
Xerochrysum bracteatum. 75 Days. Striking, fiery red and orange colored strawflowers were selected out of the classic Monstrosum Mix. We selected this variety over many years in an attempt to produce a stable, single color. However, Firefly strawflower had other plans, and continues to provide a diversity of flame-like color combinations. Producing both light and…
Xerochrysum bracteatum. 75 days. Strawflowers are one of the best everlasting flowers. They are easy to grow, produce loads of blossoms sometimes even after frost, have strong stems, and are tolerant of low fertility and dry growing conditions. Monstrosum Mix is a lovely rainbow of colors including white, orange, yellow, and several shades of pinks…
Xerochrysum bracteatum. 65 days. Super dark purple, like a deep shade of red wine, Purple Red strawflower is a fun change from the more commonly grown strawflower colors of bright oranges and yellows. Flowers grow to about 2” across but can be harvested at an earlier stage to avoid the yellow centers that appear when…
Xerochrysum bracteatum. 75 days. The blooms of Scarlet Strawflower are a vibrantly rich, lovely red with a touch of gold, making this everlasting great for bouquets, wreaths, garlands, and many other creative uses – especially around the holiday season.

Helianthus annuus. 60 days. We are excited to offer our improved version of Red Sun Sunflower! Better Off Red began with a few seeds from a self-pollination of the best and reddest plants in a mix of a (barely red at all) population of so-called Red Sun Sunflower. Re-selected and stabilized over several years, we…
Helianthus annuus. 70 days. Bicolored petals are yellow at the tips and dark maroon at the centers. Plants grow to about 5′ tall with lots of branching. The primary flower is 6-8” and plants continue to set many smaller, 3-5″ flowers on long stems through the end of the season, which makes this variety superb…
Helianthus annuus. Flowers reach 6″ wide on well-branched, 6′ tall plants. Flower color varies and includes pale yellow, bright yellow, bicolor, and red flowers. A very good cut flower since each plant produces several flower heads and stem size works well in bouquets. We were given this seed by Wim Brus, a biodynamic seed grower…
Lathyrus odoratus. 60 days. The Blue Celeste Sweet Pea patch is one of my favorite spots in the field or garden in early summer. Loads of sky blue flowers with a faint purple hue are almost luminescent, and the classic sweet pea scent seems to call out and remind me to take a few minutes…
Lathyrus odoratus. 70 days. Cream colored sweet peas add a hint of romance and elegance to the garden and to bouquets. Worth growing for their fragrance alone, and the long, strong stems make Jilly work exceptionally well in arrangements. A great choice for fall sowing for early spring blooms. Plants grow to about 4’ tall…
Lathyrus odoratus. 70-80 days. With red to maroon streaks and specks on white background petals, this variety is a striking change from classic pastel bicolor sweet peas. Modern sweet peas often lack the sweet scent that gives the species its name in the first place, however, Wiltshire Ripple is fully and joyously fragrant. Grows easily…
Dianthus barbatus. 60 days. Deep, velvety red, 1” flowers grow in slightly dome-shaped clusters that reach 4” across. Petals feature two similar shades of red, providing a depth of color to Barcelona Red that feels like there is something beyond human perception (or at least beyond this human’s perception anyway!). Unlike other varieties of this…
Dianthus barbatus. Biennial / Perennial in zones 3-9. Dark pink and white, candy striped flowers. Small, 1″ wide, single blooms appear in saucer-sized clusters atop 2′ tall, sturdy stems. The flowers bloom over a long season without deadheading and are highly desired by butterflies and bumblebees. If the plants are cut back low to the…
Dianthus barbatus. 50 days. This Dianthus / Sweet William is an annual cut flower version of the cottage garden favorite.

Ammobium alatum. 60 days. Perennial in zones 9-10. Perhaps one of the best and most well known dried flowers, Winged Everlasting (aka, Ammobium), is also a good filler in fresh arrangements. Tiny white strawflower like blossoms sit atop sturdy stems, and can be cut before they fully open for all white flowers, or after they…
Achillea millefolium. Perennial. Sometimes our penchant for seed saving goes a little too far – such is the case with Danish Yarrow. We saved seed from a bunch of plants growing along the roadside while out exploring the ruins of a 14th century castle about 12 miles from Aarhus, Denmark, during the first days of…
Achillea filipendulina. Perennial in zones 3-10. A striking ornamental. Gold flowers make excellent cut flowers and are even better dried as everlastings. The upright growth makes for easy cutting and the flowers last all summer. What we love most about Parker’s Gold is the captivating aromatic leaves that look like ferns but smell like the…
Zinnia elegans. 60-70 days. A gorgeous mix of berry-toned zinnias, including raspberry, strawberry (and strawberry ice cream), marionberry, and grape (concorde, merlot, and rosĂ©). Perhaps we can pretend that grapes are berries, and that rosĂ© is a grape variety just this once. If you like a full spectrum of pink, this is the mix for…
Zinnia elegans. 65-75 days. Softly romantic shades of coral-peachy goodness. El Dorado Zinnia’s double blossoms last for days and seem to glow in the orange light of sunset.
