Renee's Garden - This lush New World native has intricate fleur-de-Lis-shaped leaves that cascade on strong vigorous vines. From midsummer on, the showy foliage is covered with sprays of graceful tubular flowers that start as orange-red buds and open to shade from crimson to soft coral, lemon yellow, and vanilla, all the shades appearing together on each arching blossom. Cover a fence, gate, or trellis with this fine heirloom whose tropical beauty has graced gardens for over 100 years. (Ipomoea lobata) Characteristics: Heirloom Selective Hummingbird favorites Summer/Fall bloom Frost tender Instructions - To start outdoors, in late spring, once the weather is warm and settled and nights stay above 50°F, plant seeds in a sunny spot in ordinary garden soil 6 inches apart and 1/2 inch deep. Firm soil over seeds. To start early indoors, sow indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last expected frost in individual pots of seed starting mix. Cover 1/2 inch deep and keep warm and moist. Provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready for outdoor planting. Transplant very carefully once nights stay above 50°F. Thin or transplant seedlings 10 to 12 inches apart. Do not disturb delicate roots. To speed germination, soak seeds for no longer than 8 hours in tepid water. Plant immediately after soaking. Erect well-anchored supports at least 8 feet tall at planting time; strong netting, a wood or wire fence, or a sturdy trellis serve well to hold these vigorous climbers that bloom hard from midsummer. Plant in April-June Full sun Plant 1/2" deep Space seeds 6" apart 7-10 days to germinate Mature height: 8-10 feet Firefly Farm & Mercantile may substitute suppliers due to availability.

Exotic Love Vine Mina Lobata, Heirloom

Default Title

Renee's Garden - These free flowering mounding plants adorn themselves with spurless semi-double blooms in warm vibrant shades of coppery-red, like the glowing embers of a vivid summer sunset. Shining above deep green, lily pad-like leaves, Copper Sunset blossoms act as welcoming beacons for hungry hummingbirds and are perfect for filling garden beds or baskets. Use their edible leaves and flowers in the kitchen as spicy-tasting garnishes for sandwiches, salads, and seafood. Characteristics: Heirloom Selective Hummingbird favorites Pollinators & Beneficials Great in containers 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 to 10 inches apart as mounding plants need ample room. 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 one per pot. When night temperatures are above 50°F, gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions. Transplant seedlings into the garden 10 inches apart in full sun. These brilliantly colored mounding nasturtiums are reliable and easy to tuck into any well-drained spot. Except in very poor soil, nasturtiums will grow and bloom readily with no added fertilizer. Carefully thinned to proper spacing, they are a perfect disguise to cover fading bulb foliage in late spring, and their softly draping leaves and vivid flowers will quickly fill garden beds or containers. Plant in March-June Full sun or partial shade Sow seeds 3-4" apart; 1" deep 9-12 days to germinate Mature height: 1 foot Firefly Farm & Mercantile may substitute suppliers due to availability.

Nasturtium Copper Sunset (Mounding)

Renee's Garden - Creamsicle’s beautiful flowers remind me of the soft swirled colors of orange sherbet and French vanilla ice cream, with throats etched in deep crimson. The free-flowering, top-setting blossoms float in abundance above softly mounding, blue-green, lily pad-shaped foliage. These uniquely colored flowers create a lovely effect, different than the deep, bright colors of most other nasturtiums. Alluring Creamsicle is a fine choice for garden beds and borders and is also a perfect choice for container plantings.

Nasturtium Creamsicle (Mounding)

Vanilla Berry Hummingbird Nasturtium (Mounding)

Renee's Garden - These entrancing nostalgic flowers are especially beautiful, with ruffled blossoms and luscious velvety petals. They bloom in unusually deep rich shades of mahogany, ivory, gold, purple, and lilac, many with intricate markings and color patterns. Victorian Posy plants are taller than modern pansy varieties and their romantic flowers are perfect to dance and glow in window boxes and containers or cast their special allure at the front of garden borders. (Viola x wittrockiana) Characteristics: Heirloom Selective Great in containers Perennial grown as annual Spring bloom Can handle frost Approx 90 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.

Bee Heaven Salvia

Renee's Garden - These enchanting snapdragons have plump, open-faced, bell-shaped fluted flowers that are closely spaced along graceful spikes of bloom. They make naturally coordinated bouquets in a pastel watercolor blend of creamy lemon-yellow, softest salmon, warm apricot-bronze, and dainty candy floss pink, some with white throats. Perfect for lovely garden color and as cutting flowers, carefully bred Chantilly plants grow to 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 feet tall and branch nicely from the base, forming a charming candelabra of blossoms. Characteristics: Butterfly & Hummingbird favorites Pollinators & Beneficials Hardy Annual Spring/summer/fall bloom Can handle light frost Instructions - Start seeds indoors in a container of seed starting mix in early spring 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost. Dampen soil mix evenly before sowing. Sow seeds 1 inch apart, covering only with a fine dusting of the mix. Keep evenly moist but not soggy and provide a strong light source until ready to plant outdoors. When seedlings have several sets of leaves, transplant them 2 inches apart into a deeper container. After they reach 2 to 3 inches tall, gradually acclimate sturdy, well-established seedlings to outdoor conditions before transplanting them in full sun. Space seedlings 10 to 12 inches apart for best performance. Heat and wind-resistant Chantilly adds height, color, and texture to garden beds and provides abundant gorgeous summer and bouquets. Feed and water well and keep spent flower stalks cut off for the longest bloom season. Cut stalks when 8-10 blossoms are open; do not crowd in the vase for the best, longest-lasting cut flowers. In mild climates, snapdragons can also be planted in late fall to bloom in spring with pansies, Sweet William, calendula, and Agrostemma.

This long-blooming vining beauty reaches 3-4 feet tall and makes a wonderful garden accent in big pots with a short trellis, tumbling over a low wall or scrambling enticingly up a fence. Characteristics: Heirloom Great in containers Pollinators & Beneficials Annual climbing vine Spring/summer bloom Frost tolerant Instructions - Sweet peas need well-drained soil. Dig deeply and enrich with aged manure or compost. Sow seeds 1 inch deep and 3 inches apart in full sun as soon as the ground can be worked in early spring. Erect sturdy support for the short vines before planting. In mild winter areas, where the ground doesn’t freeze, plant in fall; seeds will germinate and form strong root systems, then overwinter to bloom strongly in spring. For container planting, use containers at least 12 inches in diameter filled with well-moistened potting soil. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 3 inches apart. In the summer heat, container sweet peas do best in a spot with afternoon shade. When plants have 3 or 4 sets of leaves pinch them back so just 2 sets remain. This encourages full, bushy growth. Sweet peas bloom best before the weather gets too hot, so if spring planting, sow as soon as the ground can be worked. Be sure to protect seedlings from their most common predators: birds, slugs, and snails, especially if fall planting. Mulch, keep well watered, and feed plants regularly. Container-grown sweet peas should be fertilized every 2 weeks for the best bloom.

🌙 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. 🌙🌬️✨

Evening Scented Stock, Fragrant

Red Corn Poppy: The Timeless European "Flanders" Heirloom 🌺🌿 Bring a touch of the romantic European countryside to your garden with the Red Corn Poppy (Papaver rhoeas). Also known as the Flanders Poppy or Field Poppy, this iconic heirloom is perhaps the most famous wildflower in history. With its papery, blood-red petals and dark, dramatic centers, it offers a simple yet profound beauty that has captivated poets, soldiers, and gardeners for centuries. 🏛️ The History and Origin of a Global Icon The Red Corn Poppy is a true "ancient" heirloom, native to Europe and the Mediterranean. Ancient Agriculture: For thousands of years, these poppies followed the plow. They were the constant companions of grain farmers, springing up in the disturbed soil of wheat and corn fields (hence the name "Corn Poppy"). The Symbol of Remembrance: Following World War I, this flower became the international symbol of remembrance. After the devastation of the battlefields in Flanders, Belgium, these were the first flowers to bloom from the churned earth—a story immortalized in the poem "In Flanders Fields." A Painter’s Muse: From Claude Monet to Vincent van Gogh, the brilliant red of the Corn Poppy has been a staple of Impressionist art, representing the wild, untamed spirit of the summer meadow. ✨ Characteristics of the "Wild" Red Poppy The Corn Poppy is prized for its delicate, ethereal appearance and its ability to create a high-impact "sea of red." Papery Petals: The four broad petals have a delicate, "crinkled silk" texture that shimmers in the breeze. Dramatic Centers: Each bright red flower features a soot-black "eye" at the center, surrounded by a ring of dark, pollen-rich stamens. Graceful Stems: The flowers bob atop slender, hairy, wire-like stems that reach about 18 to 24 inches tall, giving the garden a sense of light and airy movement. Prolific Bloomer: While individual flowers are fleeting, a single plant produces dozens of buds that open in succession, providing weeks of vibrant color in late spring and early summer. 📖 How to Grow and Care for Corn Poppies Corn Poppies are "cool-season" annuals that thrive with very little intervention once they are sown. Sowing (The "Cold" Secret): Poppy seeds need a period of cold to germinate. In New England and Utah, the best time to sow is very early spring (as soon as the soil can be worked) or even late autumn before the first snow. Direct Sow Only: Poppies have a sensitive taproot and do not like to be transplanted. Scatter the tiny seeds directly onto the soil surface. Light to Germinate: Do not bury the seeds! They need light to wake up. Simply press them firmly into the soil with your hand or a flat board. Self-Seeding Legacy: If you leave the beautiful, pepper-shaker-like seed pods on the plant at the end of the season, they will drop thousands of seeds, ensuring a "permanent" colony of poppies in your garden for years to come. 💡 Fun Facts and Garden Secrets 🐝 Pollinator: Poppies do not produce nectar, but they produce a massive amount of protein-rich black pollen. Watch for bees with "black saddlebags" on their legs—those are poppy-loving bees! The "Pepper Shaker": The dried seed pods are as beautiful as the flowers. They feature a tiny "cap" that lifts up, allowing the wind to shake the seeds out of small portholes like a salt shaker. Drought Tolerant: Once established, Corn Poppies are remarkably water-wise, making them perfect for "Wildflower Meadows" or low-maintenance areas. Deer Resistant: Like most poppies, the sap is bitter and unpalatable to deer and rabbits, making them a safe choice for open landscapes. 💐 Perfect For... Meadow Gardens: Mix with Blue Flax or Limonada Iris for a stunning, high-contrast display. Cottage Borders: Plant in large "drifts" to fill the gaps between early bulbs and summer perennials. Historic Restorations: An essential for any garden aiming for a 19th-century or European "Old World" look. Grow a piece of living history.

Amish Cockscomb, Celosia, 1570's Heirloom, Organic

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.
