Cosmos Snow White Sonata

Default Title

Renee's Garden - Dating back to 1737, Painted Lady was the very first named sweet pea cultivar, the result of a natural color mutation from the original purple Italian species to a beautiful rose, pastel pink, and cream bicolor. Heat tolerant and deliciously scented, Painted Lady begins flowering early on vigorous vines that stretch and grow as the season continues. Bring the continuity of centuries to your garden by growing these heavenly-scented flowers, treasured in the cottage gardens of our great-grandmothers. Characteristics: Heirloom Pollinators & Beneficials Annual climbing vine Spring/summer bloom Frost tolerant Instructions - Sweet peas must have well-drained soil, so dig deeply and enrich with aged manure or compost before sowing seeds. Erect a well-anchored trellis, vertical netting, or other support for vines before planting. Sow seeds in full sun in cool early spring weather as early as the ground can be worked. In mild winter areas, where the ground does not freeze, seeds can also be planted in fall to form strong root systems, then overwinter to bloom strongly in spring. Plant sweet pea seeds 1 inch deep and 2 to 3 inches apart. When seedlings are 2 inches tall, thin them 4 to 5 inches apart, to allow plants room to mature. Sweet peas bloom best before the weather gets too hot, so if spring planting, sow as soon as the ground can be worked. Where summer heat comes on fast, they’ll appreciate a spot with afternoon shade. Anchor supports well as vines will grow heavy with bloom. Protect seedlings from birds, slugs, and snails. Mulch and keep well watered. For the longest bloom, pick flowers often and keep faded blossoms cut. Plant in: March-May for cold winters; September-March for mild winters Full sun or part-day shade Sow seeds 2-3" apart; 1" deep Days to germinate: 12-28 days Mature Height: 6-8 feet Firefly Farm & Mercantile may substitute suppliers due to availability.

Zinfandel Sweet Pea

Peruvian Yellow Zinnia: The Golden Heirloom of the 1700s ☀️🌿 Travel back to the 18th century with the Peruvian Yellow Zinnia (Zinnia peruviana). This is not your average bedding zinnia; it is a refined, elegant ancestor of the modern hybrid. One of the first zinnias ever introduced to European and Colonial American gardens, it offers a sophisticated, wild-flower aesthetic that brings a sense of antiquity and effortless beauty to your andscape. 🏛️ A Journey Through Time The 1700s Original: While most garden zinnias are derived from Zinnia elegans, this rare species (Z. peruviana) was the primary zinnia grown in the botanical gardens and estate landscapes of the 1700s. Colonial Charm: It was a favorite in early American gardens, prized for its ability to withstand the intense summer heat of the colonies while providing a constant source of "everlasting" color. The Botanical Link: It serves as a living link to the high-altitude landscapes of the Andes Mountains in Peru, where it was first discovered and collected by early plant explorers. ✨ Why You’ll Love This Antique Variety Elegant Form: Features single, overlapping petals that form a delicate, saucer-shaped bloom. The center is topped with a distinct, golden-yellow cone of disc florets. Unique Color Palette: The petals are a soft, buttery "dusty yellow" that matures into an antiqued, parchment-like gold. It lacks the neon brightness of modern hybrids, making it perfect for "Moonlight Gardens" or muted color schemes. Pollinator Magnet: Because it is a single-flowering variety, the nectar and pollen are easily accessible. It is a top-tier choice for attracting Native Bees, Hoverflies, and small Butterflies. Self-Seeding Beauty: This species is an excellent re-seeder. Once established, it will gently return year after year, colonizing your garden with historic charm. 🌿 Product Specifications Feature Details Common Name Peruvian Yellow Zinnia / Wild Zinnia Botanical Name Zinnia peruviana Origin Peru & Mexico (Introduced in 1700s) Plant Type Tall Annual Mature Height 24 – 30 Inches Bloom Type Single (Antique Gold/Yellow) Sun Requirement Full Sun Days to Bloom 65 – 75 Days 📖 Growing & Care Tips The "Heirloom" Advantage: Unlike modern zinnias that are prone to powdery mildew, the Peruvian Yellow has a natural, wild-type resilience. Its thinner, lacy foliage allows for better airflow, keeping the plant healthier during humid summers. Direct Sow: Like all zinnias, this variety has sensitive roots. Sow directly into the garden once the soil is warm (at least 70°F). Light Cover: Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep. They need warmth and moisture to germinate, which usually takes 7–10 days. The Cut-and-Come-Again Rule: Do not be afraid to harvest! The more you cut these slender, wiry stems for bouquets, the more the plant will branch and bloom. Drought Tolerance: Once established, Z. peruviana is more drought-tolerant than most garden zinnias, making it a "water-wise" historical choice. 💐 Perfect For... Period Gardens: An absolute must for anyone maintaining a 1700s or 1800s accurate historical restoration. Meadow Planting: Its slender stems and "wild" look allow it to blend seamlessly with ornamental grasses and native perennials. Unique Bouquets: The stems are long and airy, adding a sophisticated, "fine-art" floral look to arrangements. Add the golden glow of the Andes to your garden beds. Order your Peruvian Yellow Zinnia seeds today and grow a piece of history! 🛒🌻 Marketing Tip for your Shop: This variety pairs beautifully with our Bells of Ireland or Painted Lady Sweet Peas for a complete "18th Century Grand Tour" garden collection!

Sold out for 2025 - Renee's Garden - Ours is an especially strong blooming strain of this heat tolerant treasured heirloom. Its ancestry can be traced to the first wild sweet peas from Sicily named for Father Francis Cupani, the Italian monk who discovered and sent them back to England in the 17th century. These intensely perfumed, beautifully bicolored flowers have petals of deep maroon purple and orchid-violet. The fragrance of these classic simple blossoms truly wafts in the air, delighting every passerby. Characteristics: Heat tolerant Large ruffled blooms Our oldest Sweet Pea Lasting cut flowers Approx 35-40 seeds Instructions - Sweet peas must have well-drained soil, so dig deeply and enrich with aged manure or compost before sowing seeds. Erect a well-anchored trellis, vertical netting or other support for vines before planting. Sow seeds in full sun in cool early spring weather as early as the ground can be worked.

Lauren's Dark Grape Poppy, Heirloom Poppies, Breadseed Poppy

Renee's Garden - An enchanting blend of merry little flower faces in a jewel box of colors. These charming flowers with their jaunty green leaves are remarkably sturdy and weather tolerant and will happily bloom all season long. Fairyland petite blossoms are edible with a mild wintergreen flavor and make tasty garnishes and decorations. Enjoy these dancing violas at the front of your borders or plant them to shine in cheerful containers. (Viola x wittrockiana) Characteristics: Heirloom Selective Great in containers Perennial grown as annual Spring bloom Can handle frost 100mg, ~120 Seeds per packet Instructions - In Mild Winter Climates, start seeds in late summer to have plants large enough to successfully overwinter and bloom in early spring. In Cold Winter Climates, start early indoors about 2 1/2 months before the last spring frost. Sow seeds in a container of seed starting mix 1 inch apart and cover very lightly. Keep evenly moist and cool at 55-60°, providing a strong light source. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them 2 inches apart into a deeper container(s) and grow to 2 to 3 inches tall. Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions before transplanting 4 to 5 inches apart in a sunny spot. Space seedlings are 4 to 5 inches apart. Pansies will bloom longest and make the largest flowers when the weather is cool. In mild winter areas, late summer sowings will begin to bloom in very early spring or even late winter. Keep faded blossoms removed to prolong flowering. Plant in: January-March/ July-August Full sun Plant 1/4" deep Space seeds 1" apart Days to germinate: 10-14 days Days to harvest: 4-6" Firefly Farm & Mercantile may substitute suppliers due to availability.

Instructions - In Mild Winter Climates, start seeds in late summer to have plants large enough to successfully overwinter and bloom in early spring. In Cold Winter Climates, start early indoors about 2 1/2 months before the last spring frost. Sow seeds in a container of seed starting mix 1 inch apart and cover very lightly. Keep evenly moist and cool at 55-60°, providing a strong light source. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them 2 inches apart into a deeper container(s) and grow to 2 to 3 inches tall. Gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions before transplanting 4 to 5 inches apart in a sunny spot. <meta charset="utf-8">Space seedlings are 4 to 5 inches apart.
<meta charset="utf-8">Pansies will bloom longest and make the largest flowers when the weather is cool. In mild winter areas, late summer sowings will begin to bloom in very early spring or even late winter. Keep faded blossoms removed to prolong flowering.

Cherries Jubilee Nasturtium (Mounding)

🌙 Evening Scented Stock (Matthiola bicornis) The Intoxicating "Perfume of the Night" Discover the best-kept secret of the heirloom garden with Evening Scented Stock. While many flowers compete for attention with bold colors during the day, this humble Mediterranean annual waits for the sun to set to reveal its true magic. As dusk falls, its dainty, lilac-colored blossoms "wake up" and release an overwhelming, heavenly fragrance—a complex blend of vanilla, cloves, and spicy jasmine. If you enjoy sitting on your porch or patio on warm summer nights, this is the most rewarding seed you can plant. 📜 Historical Heritage & Origin Matthiola bicornis is a storied heirloom native to the sun-drenched regions of Greece, Turkey, and Southwest Asia. It has been a beloved fixture in European gardens since the 16th century, cherished for its unrivaled aromatic qualities. Historically, it was the "gold standard" plant for the Victorian Moon Garden. During the 1800s, it was commonly planted under bedroom windows or along garden paths so that the evening breeze could carry its scent indoors. It earned the name bicornis (meaning "two-horned") because of the unique, tiny horn-like projections on its seed pods. While modern breeders have focused on creating "showy" stocks with double blooms, the Evening Scented Stock remains a favorite of heirloom purists because it has never lost the intense, wild fragrance that its ancestors possessed centuries ago. ✨ Product Highlights Intense Nighttime Fragrance: Widely considered one of the most fragrant flowers in the world; the scent intensifies significantly from sunset until dawn. The "Secret" Flower: During the heat of the day, the flowers look modest and slightly withered to conserve energy, only to unfurl and look vibrant as the moon rises. Moth Pollinator Haven: Its heavy scent acts as a beacon for beautiful Sphinx moths and other nocturnal pollinators. Easy to Grow: A "sow-and-forget" annual that is incredibly resilient and flourishes even in average soil. Cottage Garden Charm: Features delicate, four-petaled flowers in shades of soft purple and mauve atop slender, airy stems. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Scientific Name Matthiola bicornis (or longipetala) Plant Type Annual Height 12 to 18 inches Sun Requirement Full Sun to Partial Shade Bloom Period Early Summer through Autumn Days to Maturity 60–70 Days Growth Habit Airy, Upright 🌱 How to Grow Evening Scented Stock 1. Sowing the Seeds:Evening Scented Stock has a delicate root system and performs best when direct-sown into the garden. When: Sow outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. For a continuous supply of fragrance, sow a new batch every 3 weeks through early summer. Depth: Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep. They need just a light covering of soil to germinate. Germination: Expect sprouts in 7–14 days. 2. Choosing a Location:The most important factor is proximity to your living spaces. Plant these near bedroom windows, patio edges, or garden benches. They thrive in Full Sun but will bloom beautifully in Partial Shade, especially in hotter climates. 3. Maintenance: Spacing: Thin seedlings to 6–8 inches apart. Watering: Keep the soil moist during the germination period. Once established, they are moderately drought-tolerant but will bloom more profusely with regular watering. Avoid Over-Fertilizing: Too much nitrogen will result in lush green leaves but fewer of those fragrant flowers. Succession Planting: Because this plant "lives fast and dies young," sowing multiple crops throughout the spring ensures you have the "Perfume of the Night" all season long. 🎨 Garden Design Tip Because the plant can look a bit "sleepy" during the day, it is best planted as a companion among more upright, daytime-blooming flowers like Zinnias or Siberian Wallflowers. They will hide the Stock's daytime dormancy and then provide the perfect backdrop when the Stock "wakes up" to take over the night shift. Garden Tip: If you have a window box outside a bedroom, plant these there! There is nothing quite like drifting off to sleep with the natural, spicy-sweet scent of Matthiola wafting through the screen. 🌙🌬️✨
