‘Cornel Bronze’ Dahlias are exquisite in the landscape. Wonderful bronze colored blossoms seem to float in your garden. We grow all of the dahlias we offer on our farm in Cashton, Wisconsin. Ball Dahlias are wonderful plants that provide structure and continuous color to any garden with minimal effort. They reward gardeners with an abundance of blooms starting in mid to late summer through frost. Characteristics 30-50” tall Blooms are 3-4” wide USDA Zones 8-10 (Hardy in these zones, lift and store in winter in other zones) Summer to Fall Bloom Duration: Continuous Blooms through frost starting in mid to late summer Full Sun to Partial Shade Additional Information Great for Mass Plantings, Borders, and Cutting Gardens. Great for butterflies and other pollinators Ships starting by early April. We have shipped in the fall but do please reach out for this. Key Planting Tips We plant dahlia tubers 4-6" deep. We add a few alfafla pellets in the hole and backfill with topsoil amended with compost. We space this variety 18" apart. We recommend to simply pinch back the shoots after about 3-4 weeks to encourage branching. You can amend soil with 10-10-10 or something similar. Just make sure the first number (nitrogen) is 5 or 10. You can fertilize every 4 weeks to help achieve larger blossoms. For 90% of us, don’t water until your Dahlia sprouts. If your soil is very dry, water the soil first and then let it stand for 30 minutes before planting. Mulch around your plant leaving bare dirt directly above the tuber. Every tuber is inspected by me (Andre Paquette) and then hand packed for shipment. In case of any issues, we reach our proactively to go over options. If you have any questions hit the Chat with Us Now button simply reach out by email or a phone call.

Dulce De La Tierra Ground Cherry, Ancient Heirloom,

Aji Peppers are filled with tons of flavors and mild to medium heat. Aji Cinchi Amarillo are the hottest of this collection measuring 30k-50k Scoville ratings. Aji Limon is in the middle at 15k-30k and has a beautiful citrus flavor! Aji Dulce are mild at under 1k Scoville ratings but packed with so much flavor, we find ourselves adding this to everything! Characteristics: Aji Limon, Aji Dulce and Aji Cinchi Amarillo are part of this collection Open-Pollinated and Non-GMO 10-15 seeds of each variety Instructions - Peppers prefer light, well-drained, moderately fertile soil with pH 6.5-6.8. Use a high phosphorus starter fertilizer when transplanting to give young peppers a good start. Keep nitrogen levels in moderation, as high amounts can reduce yields. Start transplants 6-8 weeks before the planting date. Sow seeds into flat ~4 seeds/inch and then pot up into 2” or larger cells after the first set of true leaves appear. The optimal soil temperature for germination is 85°F. For growing transplants, maintain the temperature at around 75°F during the day and 65°F at night. Harden off plants by slightly reducing the temperature to 60-65°F and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting. Plant 1/4" deep Plant Spacing: 12-18" Row Spacing: 18-36" or double rows 18" apart on 5-6' centers Harvest & Storage - Harvest first peppers promptly to stimulate further fruit production. Peppers can be harvested and eaten at either the unripe (green) or ripe (colored) stage. Colored peppers generally require 2 – 4 weeks longer. Store peppers at 50° - 54°F and 95% percent relative humidity. Chilling injury occurs at temperatures below 45°F. Firefly Farm & Mercantile may substitute seed vendors from time to time because of the availability

Instructions -  Peppers prefer light, well-drained, moderately fertile soil with pH 6.5-6.8. Use a high phosphorus starter fertilizer when transplanting to give young peppers a good start. Keep nitrogen levels in moderation, as high amounts can reduce yields. 
<meta charset="utf-8">
Start transplants 6-8 weeks before the planting date. Sow seeds into flat ~4 seeds/inch and then pot up into 2” or larger cells after the first set of true leaves appear. The optimal soil temperature for germination is 85°F.  For growing transplants, maintain the temperature at around 75°F during the day and 65°F at night. Harden off plants by slightly reducing the temperature to 60-65°F and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting.

<ul></ul>
Harvest &amp; Storage -
<meta charset="utf-8">
Harvest first peppers promptly to stimulate further fruit production. Peppers can be harvested and eaten at either the unripe (green) or ripe (colored) stage.  Colored peppers generally require 2 – 4 weeks longer. 
<meta charset="utf-8">
Store peppers at 50° - 54°F and 95% percent relative humidity. Chilling injury occurs at temperatures below 45°F.

Weekend Warrior Gardener Extended Seasons

'Wisconsin Red' Dahlias are one of the first dahlias to bloom for us. We love their easy nature, ability to make robust tubers, and their bright red flowers. This is our oldest cultivar, dating around 1900 near Appleton, Wisconsin. Dahlias - We love dahlias for the endless blooms they produce though the season never feels ling enough. We have around 200 varieties we have been growing out on our farm. Dahlias reward gardeners with an abundance of blooms starting in mid to late summer through frost. Characteristics 48” in height Blooms are 3-4” wide USDA Zones 8-10 (Hardy in these zones, lift and store in winter in other zones) Summer to Fall Bloom Duration: Continuous Blooms through frost starting in mid to late summer Full Sun to Partial Shade Additional Information Great for Mass Plantings, Borders, and Cutting Gardens. Great for butterflies and other pollinators Ships starting by early April Key Planting Tips We plant dahlia tubers 4-6" deep. We add a few alfafla pellets in the hole and backfill with topsoil amended with compost. We space this variety 18" apart. We recommend to simply pinch back the shoots after about 3-4 weeks to encourage branching. You can amend soil with 10-10-10 or something similar. Just make sure the first number (nitrogen) is 5 or 10. You can fertilize every 4 weeks to help achieve larger blossoms. For 90% of us, don’t water until your Dahlia sprouts. If your soil is very dry, water the soil first and then let it stand for 30 minutes before planting. Mulch around your plant leaving bare dirt directly above the tuber. Every tuber is inspected and grown by me (Andre Paquette) and then hand packed for shipment. In case of any issues, we reach our proactively to go over options. If you have any questions hit the Chat with Us Now button simply reach out by email or a phone call.

Blue Coco Pole Bean or Coco Bleu de Louviers is a vigorous and high producing pole bean. Its tender and sweet beans are a hit when eating fresh, cooked as a snap bean or saved as a dry bean for soups and other dishes. Blue Coco has been documented as early as 1775 in France. Its purple blue beans also are a knockout in the yard and garden because of their bold color. This is a kid favorite for its juicy and sweet pods as much as it is for the color. We grow this each year to offer as seeds. The dried seeds are a light brown in color. This bean is grown at Firefly Farm in our hierloom production garden and we look forward each year. Pole bean Open-Pollinated High Producing Snap bean 60 days Grown at Firefly Instructions - Sow seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil and air temperatures have warmed.

Chilson's Pride is a favorite as she is always blooming and with full blossoms that stand out in the garden and in arrangements. A robust tuber producer to boot! We never seem to run out. Chilson's 4-6" wide blossom sit on 40-50" plants. We love dahlias for the endless blooms they produce though the season never feels long enough. We have around 200 varieties we have been growing out on our farm. We rotate around 40 each year to offer. Dahlias reward gardeners with an abundance of blooms starting in mid to late summer through frost. Characteristics 40-50" in height Blooms are wide USDA Zones 8-10 (Hardy in these zones, lift and store in winter in other zones) Summer to Fall Bloom Duration: Continuous Blooms through frost starting in mid to late summer Full Sun to Partial Shade Additional Information Great for Mass Plantings, Borders, and Cutting Gardens. Great for butterflies and other pollinators Ships starting by early April Key Planting Tips We plant dahlia tubers 4-6" deep. We add a few alfafla pellets in the hole and backfill with topsoil amended with compost. We space this variety 18" apart. We recommend to simply pinch back the shoots after about 3-4 weeks to encourage branching. You can amend soil with 10-10-10 or something similar. Just make sure the first number (nitrogen) is 5 or 10. You can fertilize every 4 weeks to help achieve larger blossoms. For 90% of us, don’t water until your Dahlia sprouts. If your soil is very dry, water the soil first and then let it stand for 30 minutes before planting. Mulch around your plant leaving bare dirt directly above the tuber. Every tuber is inspected (and grown by me on our farm) by me (Andre Paquette) and then hand packed for shipment. In case of any issues, we reach our proactively to go over options.

Key Planting Tips
We plant dahlia tubers 4-6" deep. We add a few alfafla pellets in the hole and backfill with topsoil amended with compost. We space this variety 18" apart.  We recommend to simply pinch back the shoots after about 3-4 weeks to encourage branching. 
You can amend soil with 10-10-10 or something similar. Just make sure the first number (nitrogen) is 5 or 10. You can fertilize every 4 weeks to help achieve larger blossoms.
For 90% of us, don’t water until your Dahlia sprouts. If your soil is very dry, water the soil first and then let it stand for 30 minutes before planting. Mulch around your plant leaving bare dirt directly above the tuber.
Every tuber is inspected by me (Andre Paquette) and then hand packed for shipment.  In case of any issues, we reach our proactively to go over options. If you have any questions hit the Chat with Us Now button simply reach out by email or a phone call.

Seed Exchange - Also known as Cherokee Black, the variety is good as both a snap and a dry bean; when mature, the greenish-purple 6” pods encase shiny jet-black seeds. This bean was shared with Seed Savers Exchange by the late Dr. John Wyche of Hugo, Oklahoma.

Strawberry Spinach: The Edible Heirloom Curiosity 🍓🍃 The Seed Savers Exchange - (Chenopodium capitatum) (aka Strawberry Blite) Grown in Europe for centuries. Very showy compact 18" plants are grown for their nutritious triangular toothed leaves and tender shoots, used in salads or steamed. Shiny red mulberry-like fruits are edible and can be added to salads or used to make dyes. Becoming scarce. Self-seeding annual, 90 days. Step back in time with Strawberry Spinach (Chenopodium capitatum), one of the most visually stunning and conversation-starting plants you can grow. Neither a true strawberry nor a true spinach, this dual-purpose heirloom offers succulent, nutritious greens and a bounty of jewel-like red berries that look like they belong in a fairy tale. 🏛️ A Botanical Time Traveler Also known as "Beetberry" or "Blite," Strawberry Spinach is a native of North America but became a beloved staple in European monastery gardens in the 1600s. Ancient Roots: It was widely grown in Europe for centuries before modern spinach varieties took over. Natural Dye: Historically, the juice from the brilliant red berries was so concentrated it was used by indigenous peoples and early settlers as a natural dye for cloth, basketry, and even as a primitive ink. A Renaissance Rediscovery: After nearly disappearing from commercial catalogs in the 20th century, it has seen a massive resurgence among heirloom enthusiasts who value "edible landscapes." ✨ Why You’ll Love Growing It Two-in-One Harvest: You get tender, nutty leaves for your salads and bright red berries for snacking or garnishing. Striking Beauty: As the plant matures, it produces clusters of bright crimson fruits along the stems, creating a dramatic contrast against the jagged green foliage. Heat Tolerant: Unlike traditional spinach, which "bolts" (goes to seed) the moment the sun gets hot, Strawberry Spinach is much more resilient in summer weather. Self-Seeding Wonder: Once you plant it, you’ll likely have it forever! It drops its seeds readily, providing a "volunteer" crop every spring. 🌿 Product Specifications Feature Details Common Name Strawberry Spinach / Beetberry Botanical Name Chenopodium capitatum Family Amaranthaceae (Related to Beets and Quinoa) Plant Type Annual Mature Height 12 – 18 Inches Sun Requirement Full Sun to Partial Shade Days to Maturity 45 Days (Leaves) / 90 Days (Berries) 🍽️ Culinary Profile: Leaves & Berries Flavor Note: Do not expect the berries to taste like a store-bought strawberry! They have a very mild, subtle sweetness with a refreshing, earthy undertone similar to a beet or a mulberry. The Greens: Harvest the young, arrow-shaped leaves early in the season. They taste like a slightly nuttier, richer version of spinach and are excellent raw or sautéed with garlic. The Berries: The berries are most flavorful when they are a deep, dark red. They add a stunning pop of color to fruit salads, can be used to top desserts, or tossed into a summer spinach salad for a monochromatic look. 📖 Growing & Care Tips Direct Sow: Like its cousin the beet, Strawberry Spinach has a taproot and prefers to be sown directly into the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring. Light to Germinate: Press the small seeds into the soil but barely cover them; they need a bit of light to wake up. Spacing: Thin plants to 6–10 inches apart. If left unthinned, they will stay small but still produce fruit. Support: When the plant is loaded with berries, the stems can become heavy. You can let them "flop" for a groundcover look, or provide a small low trellis to keep the berries off the soil. Add a dash of 17th-century magic to your garden beds.

Strawberry Spinach, 1600's Heirloom

Renee's Garden - These lovely climbing nasturtiums have charming soft primrose yellow flowers and bright green foliage, much different from the usual bold and brassy color mix. They grow easily in any well-drained soil and will gracefully disguise neglected areas or twine along a fence, trellis, or wall, providing a summer arbor of pretty lily-pad-shaped leaves and long-spurred flowers. As a wonderful bonus, both the bright flowers and leaves are deliciously edible with a spicy watercress flavor. Characteristics: Heirloom Selection Hummingbird favorites Pollinators & Beneficials Annual vine Spring/summer/fall bloom Frost tender Instructions - To start outdoors, sow seeds in spring once all danger of frost is over in full sun (or part shade in hot climates). Nasturtiums need no added fertilizer in most soils. Poke seeds into well-worked soil about 1 inch deep and 3 to 4 inches apart. Press the soil firmly over the seeds and keep them moist. When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin 10 inches apart so plants will have ample room to grow. To start early indoors, sow 2 seeds each in individual 4-inch pots of well-drained seed starting mix 3 weeks before the last expected frost date. Cover 1 inch deep. Provide a strong light source. When seedlings have several sets of leaves, pinch out the weaker seedling leaving 1 per pot. After outdoor temperatures are evenly above 50°F (10°C) gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions. Transplant seedlings into the garden 10 to 12 inches apart in full sun. Climbing nasturtiums are very reliable and easy to grow in any well-drained soil. Help them to twine up their supports, then they’ll climb easily and bloom nonstop. Do not let plants dry out during the blooming season. You can also plant Moonlight to tumble along the ground. Plant in April-June for cold winters; March-July for mild winters Full sun or partial shade Sow seeds 3-4" apart; 1" deep 7-14 days to germinate Mature height: 4-6 feet Firefly Farm & Mercantile may substitute suppliers due to availability.
