Renee's Garden - This premium variety is more compact and earlier blooming than other salvias, with clouds of nectar-rich, orchid-like blossoms in an enchanting shade of salmon-coral with tiny white stamens. Hummingbirds seek out and flock to Coral Nymph plants literally from dawn to dusk, and sprays of these charming flowers are lovely in mixed bouquets. Coral Nymph grows readily in a wide range of conditions and blooms continuously throughout summer. Ideal for big containers or as easy-care, free-flowering border plants. Characteristics: Heirloom Selective Butterfly & Hummingbird favorites Great in containers Pollinators & Beneficials Tender perennial grown as annual Summer/Fall bloom Frost tender .08g ~65 seeds Instructions - To start early indoors, start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost date.

When seedlings are about 2 to 3 inches tall, and night temperatures are above 50°F, acclimate to outdoor conditions and plant 8 inches apart. To start outdoors, sow in well-worked beds or in containers in full sun only after night temperatures reach 50°F. Plant seeds 4 inches apart and covers very lightly. Keep soil evenly moist. Thin seedlings to 8 inches apart so plants have room to mature. To plant in a container, plant 4 seedlings in a 20-inch pot; 3 in a 16-inch pot, and 1 seedling in an 8-inch pot.

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. In mild winter areas, where the ground does not freeze, plant in fall; seeds will germinate and 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.

Dark Night Pincushion, Heirloom Scabiosa

🌸 Cosmos "Daydream" (Cosmos bipinnatus) – "The Ethereal Garden Dream" Transport your garden into a soft, impressionist painting with Cosmos "Daydream." This enchanting variety is a standout in the cosmos family, famous for its unique "halo" effect. Each bloom features pale, shell-pink petals that deepen into a vivid rosy-magenta ring around a bright golden center, creating a delicate glowing appearance that truly lives up to its name. 📜 A Glimpse into History While many gardeners think of "Daydream" as a modern selection, its roots in American horticulture run deep. Vintage Catalog Interest:References to the distinct "Daydream" color pattern—pink with a contrasting crimson eye—can be found in seed catalogs dating back to the 1920s. One of the earliest prominent listings for this specific bicolor selection appears in the 1924 W. Atlee Burpee & Co. catalog, where it was celebrated as a "charming new break in color" for the bipinnatus species. By growing Daydream, you are continuing a century-old tradition of cultivating these "painted" wildflower faces. 🌟 Key Highlights Unique Bicolor Blooms: Soft blush-pink petals with a striking magenta "inner ring." Artistic Texture: Features the signature fine, fern-like foliage that adds a misty, ethereal look to garden borders. Pollinator Magnet: A high-nectar source that is particularly beloved by Monarch butterflies and solitary bees. Continuous Harvest: The more you snip for indoor bouquets, the more the plant branches out to produce new buds. Resilient Beauty: Like its heirloom ancestors, it handles heat and poor soil with remarkable ease. 📋 Quick Facts Feature Details Status Heritage Selection (Circa 1920s) Plant Type Annual Wildflower Height 36 – 48 inches Bloom Size 3 – 4 inches wide Sun Exposure Full Sun (6+ hours) Soil Preference Lean/Poor Soil (Avoid heavy fertilizers!) Days to Bloom 70 – 90 Days 🌿 Why You’ll Love It Cosmos Daydream is the perfect "filler" plant for a cottage garden or a cutting patch. Because of its soft, muted tones, it acts as a bridge between bright hot pinks and stark whites. True to its heritage, this variety thrives on neglect. If your soil is sandy or rocky, Daydream will flourish. In fact, rich soil will encourage the plant to grow massive amounts of green foliage but very few of those dreamy, haloed flowers. 🚜 Planting & Care Instructions Sowing: Direct sow outdoors after the last frost. Cosmos are heat-lovers and will sprout quickly once the soil is warm. Depth: Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep. Spacing: Thin seedlings to 12–18 inches apart to allow for its bushy, branching habit. No Fertilizer: Keep it lean! Over-fertilizing results in "all leaf and no flower." Floral Design: For the longest vase life, cut flowers just as the petals are beginning to unfurl but before the yellow pollen in the center is visible. Gardener's Tip: "Daydream is a 'see-through' plant. Its airy stems mean you can plant it in front of other flowers without totally blocking them, creating a beautiful layered look that captures the morning dew perfectly!" Bring a century of garden magic to your backyard!Add the Daydream Cosmos to your collection and watch your garden transform into a soft, pollinator-filled sanctuary. 🛒✨🌸
