Grandmother's Pincushion Scabiosa

Renee's Garden - This lovely old variety, a true English Spencer sweet pea, combines graceful form, beautiful color, and delicious subtle perfume. It’s difficult to do justice to their lovely color except to describe it as a shade in between fresh-cut watermelon and ripe rosy peaches. These alluring flowers are borne on long stems on strong vigorous vines. When you gather a bouquet of these entrancing blossoms, they will make all your senses dance in delight! Characteristics: Renee's Garden Exclusive Annual Long stems Colored blossoms Delicious perfume 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 after Labor Day; 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. Plant in: March - April Full sun or partial shade Plant 1 inch deep Plant 2-3 inches apart 12-28 days to germinate Mature Height: 6-8 feet Firefly Farm & Mercantile may substitute suppliers due to availability.

These vigorous plants bloom very early on strong single stems and make a gorgeous display. Van Gogh is pollen-free, so cut flowers have a longer vase life. Characteristics: Butterfly & Hummingbird favorites Annual Summer/fall bloom Frost tender Instructions - To plant outdoors, plant in full sun in good garden soil when the weather is warm and settled, all danger of frost is past and both days and nights are evenly in the 50°F range. Poke seeds into well-worked soil about 1/2 inch deep, 4 to 5 inches apart. Press soil firmly over seeds and keep moist until seedlings emerge in 8 to 10 days. When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin seedlings to a final spacing of 1 foot apart so these tall plants will have ample room to grow. Extra-thinned seedlings can be transplanted easily. To start early indoors, several weeks before the last frost date, sow seeds 1/2 inch deep in individual pots of well-drained seed starting mix. Keep moist and provide a strong light source until seedlings are well established and ready to plant outside. Transplant carefully, disturbing the roots as little as possible. Space seedlings 1 foot apart so plants will have room to mature. These handsome tall flowers are easy and rewarding to grow. Make several sowings several weeks apart to have a succession of flowers in full bloom. Keep soil moist and well-weeded and protect very young seedlings from birds with netting or plastic berry baskets, removing them before plants get crowded. Plant in: May-June for cold winters; April-July for mild winters Full sun Sow seeds 4-5" apart; 1" deep Days to germinate: 8-10 days Mature Height: 5-7 feet Firefly Farm & Mercantile may substitute suppliers due to availability.

Van Gogh Mixture Sunflowers

Renee's Garden - We are proud to make this rare and unusual species of sweet pea available for home gardeners. The dainty little flowers are an exquisite glowing blue color, some with rose-touched throats. The abundant singly born blossoms shine out like jewels against lushly tangled grassy foliage and gently curling tendrils. 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. Plant in: March-April for cold winters; September-March for mild winters Full sun or part-day shade Sow seeds 3" apart; 1" deep Days to germinate: 12-28 days Mature Height: 3-4 feet Firefly Farm & Mercantile may substitute suppliers due to availability.

Electric Blue Sweet Pea

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.

🌸 Royal Mix Sweet Pea (Lathyrus odoratus) The Grand Standard for Fragrance and Elegance Elevate your garden with the Royal Mix Sweet Pea, a majestic selection celebrated for its large, ruffled blooms and legendary perfume. This "Royal" series is the gold standard for cutting gardens, offering a sophisticated palette of deep crimson, lavender, rose-pink, navy blue, and pure white. Known for having longer stems and better heat resistance than many older varieties, the Royal Mix allows you to bring the intoxicating scent of an English cottage garden straight into your home. 📜 Historical Heritage & Origin The story of the Sweet Pea begins in Sicily in 1695, when a monk named Franciscus Cupani discovered a small, intensely fragrant wild pea with purple and maroon flowers. By the 19th century, they had become a Victorian obsession. The "Royal" strain represents a 20th-century peak in Sweet Pea breeding. It was developed to improve upon the famous "Spencer" ruffled types of the early 1900s. Breeders specifically selected the Royal lineage for florist-quality traits: sturdier stems, larger "multi-bloom" flower heads (often 4–5 blossoms per stem), and a vigorous growth habit that could withstand the transition from spring to summer heat better than its ancestors. Today, it remains one of the most popular mixes for those who demand the perfect balance of visual drama and classic scent. ✨ Product Highlights Elite Fragrance: Produces an intense, honey-sweet aroma that can perfume an entire patio or room. Designer Color Palette: A carefully balanced mix of saturated solids and delicate bicolors. Premier Cut Flower: Specifically bred for long, straight stems that make arranging bouquets effortless. Vigorous Climber: Reaches heights of 5 to 6 feet, quickly covering fences, trellises, or obelisks. Improved Heat Tolerance: Stays in bloom longer into the early summer than traditional heirloom varieties. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Scientific Name Lathyrus odoratus Plant Type Hardy Annual Height 5 to 6 feet Sun Requirement Full Sun (6-8+ hours) Bloom Period Spring to Early Summer Days to Maturity 75–90 Days Growth Habit Vining (Requires support) 🌱 How to Grow Royal Mix Sweet Peas 1. Seed Preparation (The Secret to Success):Sweet Pea seeds have a very tough outer coat. To speed up germination: Nicking: Use a nail clipper or sandpaper to gently "nick" the seed coat on the side opposite the small "eye." Soaking: Alternatively, soak seeds in room-temperature water for 12–24 hours before planting until they swell. 2. When to Plant:Sweet Peas love the cool weather and can handle light frosts. Spring: Direct sow as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring. Winter: In mild-winter climates (Zones 8-10), sow in the fall for spectacular late-winter/early-spring blooms. 3. Sowing and Location: Depth: Sow seeds 1 inch deep. Spacing: Space seeds 2–3 inches apart, then thin to 6 inches apart. Support: Provide a trellis, fence, or netting at the time of planting. 4. Maintenance: The "Pinch": When seedlings are 4–6 inches tall, pinch off the top growing tip. This encourages the plant to branch out from the base, resulting in a much bushier, more flower-heavy plant. Keep 'Em Cool: Sweet Peas hate hot soil. Mulch the base of the plants heavily with straw or compost to keep the roots cool. Deadheading: This is vital! Once the plant starts producing seeds (pods), it will stop flowering. Cut flowers every few days to keep the production going. ⚠️ Important Note Unlike garden peas, Sweet Pea seeds are toxic if ingested. Ensure they are planted away from edible peas and kept out of reach of small children and pets. Garden Tip: For the best vase life, harvest your Sweet Peas when the bottom two flowers on a stem are open but the top one is still a bud. They will continue to open in the water and maximize their fragrance in your home! ✂️🌸

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.

April in Paris Sweet Pea, Sweet Pea Flowers

🌻 Maximilian Sunflower (Helianthus maximiliani) The Majestic Perennial Powerhouse of the Autumn Garden Extend your sunflower season indefinitely with the Maximilian Sunflower. Unlike the common annual sunflower, this stunning North American native is a hardy perennial that returns year after year, getting larger and more beautiful with each season. Reaching heights of up to 10 feet and smothered in dozens of 3-inch, bright yellow blooms along its tall, graceful stalks, the Maximilian is the "grand finale" of the garden, providing a spectacular wall of color just as other summer flowers begin to fade. 📜 Historical Heritage & Royal Origins The Maximilian Sunflower carries a name rooted in the golden age of American exploration. It was named in honor of Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied, a German naturalist and explorer who led a famous expedition through the American West in the early 1830s. While exploring the Great Plains, Prince Maximilian documented the incredible biodiversity of the prairie, and this towering sunflower became one of his most enduring legacies. Historically, it was a vital plant for the Indigenous peoples of the Plains; the seeds were a source of food and oil, and the thick, fibrous stalks were used for building and fuel. Today, it remains a symbol of the untamed American prairie and a staple for restoration ecology and sustainable landscaping. ✨ Why Gardeners Love Maximilian Sunflowers A True Perennial: Plant it once and enjoy it for a lifetime! Its crown and rhizomes expand each year, creating a more impressive display every autumn. The Late-Season Champion: One of the last plants to bloom in the garden (August–October), providing a critical nectar source for monarch butterflies on their southern migration. Wildlife Banquet: The heavy production of small, oil-rich seeds makes this plant a favorite for songbirds like finches, nuthatches, and grosbeaks during the winter months. Natural Living Screen: Due to its massive height and dense, lance-shaped foliage, it is the perfect choice for a "living fence" or a natural privacy screen. Exceptional Resilience: Thrives in poor soil, heavy clay, and extreme drought. Once established, it is nearly indestructible. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Scientific Name Helianthus maximiliani Plant Type Native Perennial (Hardy in Zones 3–9) Height 6 to 10 feet Sun Requirement Full Sun (8+ hours) Bloom Period Late August through October Water Needs Low (Exceptional Drought Tolerance) Soil Preference Adaptable; thrives in clay, loam, or sandy soil 🌱 How to Grow Maximilian Sunflowers from Seed 1. Sowing the Seeds (Cold Stratification):Like many native perennials, Maximilian seeds have a built-in dormancy that is broken by cold weather. Fall Sowing (Easiest): Direct sow in the fall. The natural winter cold will prepare the seeds for spring germination. Spring Sowing: If planting in spring, mix seeds with damp sand and store in your refrigerator for 30 days before sowing. Depth: Sow seeds 1/8 inch deep. 2. Choosing the Perfect Spot:This plant is a giant! Place it at the very back of your borders or along a fence line where it has plenty of room to tower. Ensure the location gets at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight. 3. Maintenance: Spacing: Thin seedlings to 2 feet apart. Over time, the plant will form large, multi-stemmed clumps. Watering: Water regularly during the first season to establish the root system. Mature plants are highly drought-tolerant. Staking: In very windy areas or exceptionally rich soil, these giants may benefit from a sturdy stake or a fence to lean against. Spring Cleanup: Cut the old stalks down to the ground in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. 🎨 Garden Design Maximilian Sunflowers are the ultimate choice for Native Pollinator Meadows and Wildlife Gardens. Their height and brilliant yellow spikes create a breathtaking "vertical" element when paired with late-blooming purples like New England Aster or the feathery texture of Bronze Fennel. Garden Tip: If you find the plants are getting too tall for your space, you can "Chelsea Chop" them—cut the stalks back by half in early June. This will result in a shorter, bushier plant with even more flower spikes! ✂️🌻

Maximilan Sunflower, Perennial Sunflower, U.S. Native

🌻 Tall Sungold Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) The Shaggy, Golden "Pom-pon" of the Victorian Garden Experience a delightful twist on the classic sunflower with the Tall Sungold, also famously known as the Tall Teddy Bear Sunflower. Quite unlike the traditional sunflowers with their flat, dark centers, the Tall Sungold produces massive, 5-to-7-inch "double" blooms that are completely filled with thousands of tiny, shaggy, golden-yellow petals. Looking like a giant, fuzzy pom-pon or an oversized chrysanthemum, these sunflowers offer a soft, whimsical texture that brings a unique "fairytale" aesthetic to any summer border. 📜 Historical Heritage: The Victorian "Pom-pon" Craze While most sunflowers have a simple, wild appearance, the Tall Sungold is a refined heirloom that captured the imagination of the Victorian era. In the late 19th century, European and American gardeners became obsessed with "double" flowers—blossoms with extra layers of petals. This variety was a horticultural sensation because it looked so "fluffy" and sophisticated compared to the farm-variety sunflowers of the time. It was frequently featured in high-end seed catalogs of the 1880s and 90s as the "Chrysanthemum-flowered Sunflower." Today, it remains a beloved "contemporary heirloom" for those who want to recreate the lush, textured look of a traditional English garden. 🐦 A Textural Haven for Wildlife Don't let the "fancy" appearance fool you—the Tall Sungold is a hardworking member of the garden ecosystem: Pollen & Nectar: While the dense "double" petals make it slightly harder for some insects to reach the center, it is still a significant nectar source for honeybees and bumblebees who love to crawl through the shaggy petals. The Winter Banquet: Once the "shaggy" petals fade, the heads produce a high volume of oil-rich seeds. If you leave the spent stalks standing, you will have a front-row seat to an autumn feast for Goldfinches, Chickadees, and Cardinals. Beneficial Bug Shelter: The dense, multi-layered petals provide a unique hunting ground and shelter for ladybugs and other predatory insects. ✨ Product Highlights Spectacular "Double" Blooms: Features dense, shaggy pom-pon flowers that are a vibrant, glowing gold from edge to center. Majestic Height: Reaches a stately 5 to 6 feet, making it much taller than its dwarf "Teddy Bear" cousins and perfect for the back of the border. Exceptional Cut Flower: One of the best sunflowers for the vase! The double petals mean there is no messy pollen drop on your furniture, and the blooms have an incredible vase life. Sturdy & Reliable: Features thick, strong stems that support the heavy weight of the "puffy" flower heads. Instant Garden Drama: Its unique texture makes it a great conversation piece that stands out against standard sunflowers. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Scientific Name Helianthus annuus (Double-flowered) Plant Type Annual Height 5 to 6 feet Sun Requirement Full Sun (8+ hours) Bloom Period July through October Days to Maturity 75–85 Days Flower Type Fully Double / Pom-pon 🌱 How to Grow Tall Sungold Sunflowers 1. Sowing the Seeds:Like all sunflowers, Tall Sungold is a fast grower and is best direct-sown into the garden once the soil is warm. When: Sow outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil is at least 65°F. Depth: Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep. Germination: Expect sprouts in 7–10 days. 2. The Perfect Location:Choose a location along a fence, a wall, or the back of a flower bed. They must have Full Sun. Because they produce large, heavy flower heads, they appreciate rich soil amended with compost and consistent moisture. 3. Maintenance: Spacing: Thin seedlings to 18–24 inches apart. This provides enough airflow for the large, fuzzy heads and room for the plants to reach their full height. Staking: Because the double-blooms can be heavy (especially after a rain), providing a sturdy stake or planting them against a fence can help keep the stalks upright. Watering: Water regularly at the base of the plant. Avoid getting the "fuzzy" petals too wet, as they can hold moisture and become heavy. 🎨 Garden Design Tip Tall Sungold looks spectacular when paired with the deep, dark purples of Giant Purple Hyssop or Dark Blue Bachelor Buttons. The contrast between the shaggy gold "pom-pons" and the cool purple tones creates a professional, high-contrast look that is truly "Incredible." Garden Tip: If you are cutting these for a bouquet, harvest them when the flower is about 2/3 open. The shaggy petals will continue to unfurl in the vase, and you'll get the longest possible display of golden "Teddy Bear" fluff! ✂️🌻

Tall Teddy Bear or Tall Sungold Sunflower, 1800's Heirloom Sunflower

🌻 Prairie Sunflower (Helianthus petiolaris) The Untamed Spirit of the Great American West Experience the rugged, effortless beauty of the North American grasslands with the Prairie Sunflower. Often known as the Plains Sunflower, this native annual is the wild ancestor of many garden hybrids, yet it retains a fierce resilience and "see-through" airy quality that modern giants cannot match. Featuring multi-branching stems topped with dozens of 2-to-4-inch golden blossoms and deep chocolate centers, it is the premier choice for restoration projects, wildflower meadows, and "rewilding" the edges of your garden. 📜 Historical Heritage & Pioneer Roots The Prairie Sunflower is a quintessential North American native, historically stretching across the Great Plains from Canada down to Mexico. It is a plant that defined the "Golden West" for early explorers and pioneers. Historically, this species was a vital resource for Indigenous peoples, including the Hopi and the Navajo. The seeds were harvested for oil and high-protein meal, while the vibrant petals and stems were utilized to create yellow and purple dyes for baskets and textiles. Unlike the "Mammoth" sunflowers bred by settlers for massive seed production, the wild Prairie Sunflower was valued for its ecological stability—its ability to thrive in parched, sandy soils and provide a reliable food source for the massive bison herds of the 19th century. 🐝 An Ecological Anchor: The "Wild" Service Station The Prairie Sunflower is a "keystone species," meaning it supports a disproportionately large number of other living things in your garden: Pollinator Paradise: Because it is a wild, branching species, it produces a relentless succession of flowers over several months. This provides a steady nectar and pollen source for a vast array of native bees, honeybees, and butterflies. The "Goldfinch Magnet": The smaller, oil-rich seeds are the perfect size for songbirds. By leaving the plants standing in the fall, you create a natural bird feeder that will attract Goldfinches, Juncos, and Chickadees throughout the winter. Host Plant Excellence: It serves as a host for several specialized moths and butterflies, ensuring the next generation of pollinators has a place to grow. Rugged Resilience: Its deep taproot helps break up compacted soil and improves the overall health of the land. ✨ Product Highlights True Native Genetics: A wild species that has not been manipulated for size or "pollenless" traits; it is the real deal for wildlife support. Stunning Branching Habit: A single plant becomes a bushy "shrub" of sunflowers, producing dozens of flowers at once.

Sowing the Seeds:Prairie Sunflowers are incredibly easy to grow. They prefer to be direct-sown into the garden as soon as the soil has warmed. When: Sow outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and the soil is at least 65°F. Depth: Sow seeds 1/2 inch deep. Germination: Expect sprouts in 7–14 days. 2. The Perfect Location:Choose a spot with Full Sun. This species is famous for growing in "disturbed" or poor soil—it does not require fertilizers or rich compost. In fact, if the soil is too rich, the plant may grow too fast and become "leggy." 3. Maintenance: Spacing: Thin seedlings to 12–18 inches apart. Their branching habit means they need room to spread horizontally. Watering: Water regularly until the seedlings are 6 inches tall. Once established, the Prairie Sunflower is remarkably drought-tolerant. Support: Generally self-supporting, but in very windy, open areas, planting them in groups allows the plants to shelter and support one another. 🎨 Garden Design Tip Prairie Sunflowers look spectacular when paired with other prairie natives like Purple Coneflower (Echinacea) or Blue Grama Grass. The golden-yellow "stars" of the sunflower against the cool purples and soft textures of the grasses create a classic, "Old West" aesthetic. Garden Tip: If you want a more "controlled" look, you can pinch the growing tips when the plant is 12 inches tall. This will result in an even bushier plant with a higher volume of smaller flowers! ✂️🌻🌿

Prairie Sunflower, Native Sunflower, U.S. Native

Renee's Garden - Raspberry Twirl's pink and white ruffled blossoms are one of kind beauties. These long-stemmed flowers are sweetly perfumed and elegantly formed. They will become the highlight of your late spring and early summer garden and yield exquisite scented bouquets. The luscious shades of this Royal perfectly combine the fragrance of old-fashioned varieties with the beautiful form of exhibition sweet peas. 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, plant in the fall after Labor Day; 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. 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-April 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.
