Renee's Garden - No lavender lover should be without White Ice, our award-winning hardy white Lavender, bred by our most respected Dutch seed producers. These compact, softly vase-shaped plants grow 12 to 14 inches tall and, if started early, they reliably begin flowering the first season from seed. The fragrant white flower bracts have an especially sweet, clear lavender scent. Long blooming White Ice shows off beautifully in patio pots and is particularly striking at the front of garden borders.

White Ice Lavender

Default Title

Renee's Garden - Fernleaf looks distinctively different than other garden lavenders. It has deeply lobed fern-like, silvery leaves that give the foliage a handsome lacy appearance and long stems topped with graceful blue-violet trident-form flowers. Easily grown from seed, this first-year flowering perennial has a bushy habit and blooms all summer long. Fernleaf foliage is highly aromatic with a hint of oregano and highly attractive to butterflies. Great for borders, beds, and containers. Characteristics: Renee's Garden Exclusive Perennial Butterfly Herbs Violent and blue flowers Approx 45 seeds Instructions - In early spring, sow lavender seeds 1 inch apart in a container of seed starting mix. Cover very lightly and keep at 60 to 70°F (16-21°C). Keep evenly moist but not soggy until seedlings slowly emerge over 14 days, providing a good light source. When seedlings have several sets of leaves, transplant 2 inches apart into deeper containers. Plant outside in a well-drained sunny spot when plants are 2 to 3 inches tall after gradually acclimating to outdoor conditions.

English True Lavender, Heirloom

The Seed Savers Exchange - Jan Suchomel of Van Horne, Iowa, discovered this poppy growing in the backyard garden when she moved to Van Horne from Cedar Rapids in 1967 and proceeded, over the next three decades, to give its seeds to all her family members. She was so taken with the flower that she even planted some of its seeds at the senior complex she moved to in 2003 so that she could continue to enjoy its colorful blooms. All plant parts except the seeds are toxic. 91 days. Characteristics: From the Collection for 2023 Self-seedling annual Beautiful double lavender blooms Organic Grows 2 to 3 feet tall Blooms June - July Instructions - Direct seeding is preferable, as poppies do not like to have their roots disturbed. Sow seeds outdoors in the early spring when the soil is still cool and light frost is possible. Can also be sown in the fall just before the ground freezes. Plants will tolerate poor soil. Direct Seed: 1/4" Deep Germination: 10-15 days Thin: 8-10" Apart Light: Fall Sun Firefly Farm & Mercantile may substitute seed vendors from time to time because of the availability

Lavender Double Poppy, Organicd

The 'Alpha' gladiolus are always so popular in the store as this shade of purple is always so wonderful in the garden. We provide them in 12/14 cm bulbs (technically corms) so you get the best available. Gladiolus are deer, rabbits, and rodent resistant. For our large flowering glads, we bring in large 12/14 corms so you get bigger blooms. Click here for all of our gladiolus offerings. Characteristics 48" Tall Blooms in about 8-9 weeks from planting USDA Zones 8-10 (Hardy in these zones, lift and store in winter in other zones) Full Sun Bloom Color: Purple Additional Information Great for Mass Plantings, Borders, and Cutting Gardens. Great for butterflies and other pollinators Ships starting in mid to late March Key Planting Tips Plant gladiolus 4" deep with an amended soil with 10-10-10 or something similar. Just make sure the first number (nitrogen) is 5 or 10. Or plant with a finished compost. Stagger your planting every 2 weeks so you can enjoy blooms continuously all summer. To lift and store for winter, simply go dig up corms after the foliage has faeded to yellow/brown. Separate the mother corm and compost/dispose and most of the time you will have two new corms. We sepearate those usually when we dig them up after we hose them off. Dry in a single layer out of the sun for a 10-14 days then we simply place in netting or crates for winter. They are not stored with any medium - this is partly why Grandma loved them so much.

French Perfume Lavender

Lavender Blue Baby - Dual tones of lavender with a green throat. AHS Awards for Stout Silver Medal 2007, Award of Merit 2004 and a 2001 Honorable Mention. Bloomsize - 5.5" Flower Height - 28" Bloom Time - Early Midseason Foliage Type - Dormant Reblooming Traits - Yes, Diurnal Fragrant - Yes Diploid Hybridizer Carpenter (1996) Shipping starts in late March to early April, we ship based on your zip code's average frost date, please reach out to us if you'd like them early. Our daylilies come as #1 Divisions harvested in the fall. Some are replanted right away while others are put into the cooler for spring and fall bareroot offerings. Plant outside after all danger of frost. We ship based on the average last frost date. If you'd like your dayliles sooner, please reach out to us as many gardeners will plant in pots for a few weeks to get them stronger and bloom sooner. They typically bloom the first year. Daylilies tolerate a wide range of soil and are hardy to Zone 4, some protection will allow for zone 3 hardiness.

Our daylilies come as #1 Divisions harvested in the fall. Some are replanted right away while others are put into the cooler for spring and fall bareroot offerings.  Plant outside after all danger of frost. We ship based on the average last frost date.  If you'd like your dayliles sooner, please reach out to us as many gardeners will plant in pots for a few weeks to get them stronger and bloom sooner.  They typically bloom the first year. 
Daylilies tolerate a wide range of soil and are hardy to Zone 4, some protection will allow for zone 3 hardiness. Once established they handle infrequent waterings well and will reward you with what seems to be a neverending cascade of blooms.

<ol>
<li>No Tracking of Personal Information.&nbsp;The Site is not set up to track, collect or distribute personal information not entered by visitors.

Web beacons usually work in conjunction with cookies. If customer does not want cookie information to be associated with customer's visits to these pages, customer can set its browser to turn off cookies; however, web beacon and other technologies will still detect visits to these pages, but the notices they generate cannot be associated with other non-identifiable cookie information and are disregarded.</li>

Such information is sometimes known as "clickstream data." We or our contractors may use this data to analyze trends and statistics.</li>
<li>Collection of Personal Information.&nbsp;The Company collects personal identifying information from customer during a transaction. We may extract some personally identifying information about that transaction in a non-identifiable format and combine it with other non-identifiable information, such as clickstream data.

PRIVACY POLICY

If for any reason you are not happy with a purchase, please email us at andre@fireflyfarmandmercantile.com so we can assist.&nbsp; We do provide refunds up to 10 days of you receiving merchandise. We may ask for the product to be returned to be eligible for a refund. We do not do refunds for shipping unless it is something we feel we could have done better. Carriers often don’t deliver based on their own timelines but you can always pick up at our garden shop too. Unlike most online garden online retailers we have a business location too, so come in out and visit our farm.

REFUND POLICY

Shipping Policy: 
Seasonal Availability: We typically have more than one season of products available to order.&nbsp; We separate these at time of fulfillment. Shipping is typically collected for the shipment leaving the soonest and for pre-ordered items, we will send you a shipping invoice to pay before your merchandise arrives.&nbsp;
Pre-calculated weights:
Sometimes the products purchased may weigh more or less than the calculated shipping rate. We try our best to determine the weights based on current and past inventory.&nbsp; We do provide refunds proactively and will communicate accordingly.&nbsp;
We try our best to offer the right services for you at checkout. If we see an opportunity for a more desirable service we will reach out to you. Please ensure we have a good contact number or email&nbsp; so we can do so.&nbsp;
United States Postal Service and UPS services go out Monday through Friday. This allows us to ensure we provide a quality product at a reasonable rate. Any delivery times are just estimates from the carrier once they receive the package. We cannot change this due to Shopify’s policy. I would if I could as it can lead to some confusion.
We are a small garden shop and have very little pull with any carrier (and seriously who really does with USPS or any other). For the most part UPS timelines have been the most consistent. But there are not delivery dates but days your package will be in transit once we drop it off. In average we take 1-4 business days to fulfill orders and then the carrier’s approximate shipping times are added to that.&nbsp;

SHIPPING POLICY

We accept various forms for payment. Currently we accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express as well as Google Pay and Shop Pay.
We strive to deliver on what we say we are going to do. Pre-orders are orders that are being taken without inventory on hand. The advantage is you get a great price, but sometimes crops just don't yield what is expected. We will use many different suppliers to fulfill your orders as best as possible. We won't substitute without your permission so please make sure you leave your best contact information so we can reach out to you. On occasion if unable to reach you, we will simply send the substitute product but you are welcome to call us once receiving it and letting us know you’d like a refund on it.
