🎨 Painted Daisy (Chrysanthemum carinatum) The Art Deco Masterpiece of the Summer Garden Bring a splash of vibrant, geometric beauty to your garden with the Painted Daisy. Also known as the Tricolor Daisy, this stunning heirloom is famous for its unique "bullseye" blooms. Each flower features concentric rings of contrasting colors—vibrant reds, oranges, yellows, purples, and whites—surrounding a dark, mysterious center. With its deeply feathery, fern-like foliage and relentless blooming habit, the Painted Daisy looks as though it were meticulously hand-painted by a master artist. 📜 Historical Heritage: From Morocco to the Victorian Garden The Painted Daisy (Chrysanthemum carinatum, now often classified as Ismelia carinata) is a storied heirloom native to the sun-drenched hillsides of North Africa, specifically Morocco. It was first introduced to European gardeners in the late 18th century (around 1796). It quickly became a sensation during the Victorian era, where gardeners were captivated by its "Tricolor" nature—a rarity in the daisy world. Historically, it was prized for "carpet bedding" and "ribbon borders," where its bold, contrasting circles of color were used to create high-impact, artistic designs in public parks and private estates. Today, it remains a favorite for those seeking an "old-fashioned" look with a modern, graphic edge. ✨ Product Highlights Spectacular Tricolor Blooms: Every flower is a unique "target" of color, making it a standout in any garden bed or container. Pollinator Magnet: The flat, wide faces of the daisies are a preferred "landing pad" for butterflies, honeybees, and beneficial hoverflies. Premier Cut Flower: Features long, sturdy stems and a fantastic vase life. A single plant can provide dozens of colorful bouquets throughout the summer. Unique Foliage: Unlike common daisies, the Painted Daisy features deeply cut, feathery green leaves that provide a soft, airy texture in the garden. Fast & Easy: One of the simplest annuals to grow from seed, often blooming in as little as 10 weeks. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Scientific Name Chrysanthemum carinatum / Ismelia carinata Plant Type Annual (Heirloom) Height 18 to 36 inches Sun Requirement Full Sun (6-8+ hours) Bloom Period Early Summer through Autumn Days to Maturity 70–80 Days Growth Habit Upright, Multi-branching 🌱 How to Grow Painted Daisies from Seed 1. Sowing the Seeds:Painted Daisies are very easy to grow and can be started indoors for an earlier show or direct-sown in the garden. Indoors: Start 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Sow seeds on the surface of a moist starting mix and cover very lightly with 1/8 inch of soil. Outdoors: Direct sow in early spring as soon as the danger of frost has passed. Germination: Expect sprouts in 10–15 days at temperatures of 65–70°F. 2. Choosing a Location:Painted Daisies demand Full Sun. While they are adaptable to many soil types, they must have excellent drainage. They are perfectly suited for the middle or back of a mixed border where their height can be fully appreciated. 3. Maintenance: Spacing: Thin or transplant seedlings to 12–18 inches apart. Pinching for Bushiness: When the plants are about 6–8 inches tall, pinch off the central growing tip. This encourages the plant to branch out from the base, resulting in a much sturdier plant with significantly more flowers. Watering: Water at the base of the plant to keep the foliage dry. While moderately drought-tolerant, they will bloom more profusely with consistent moisture. Deadheading: To keep the "Painted" display going all summer, remove faded flowers promptly. This prevents the plant from putting energy into seed production. 🎨 Garden Design Tip Painted Daisies look spectacular when planted alongside solid-colored flowers that echo the colors in their "rings." Try planting them with Dark Red Zinnias, Yellow Coreopsis, or the silver-blue foliage of Hyssop for a high-contrast, professional look. Garden Tip: If you want a truly spectacular indoor arrangement, cut the Painted Daisies when they are about half-way open. They will continue to unfurl in the vase and their "bullseye" patterns will become more intense as they age! ✂️🎨

🟣 Ruby Moon Purple Hyacinth Bean (Lablab purpureus) The Showstopping "Jewel of the Arbor" If you are looking for the ultimate ornamental climber to transform a fence, arbor, or trellis into a wall of royal color, the Purple Hyacinth Bean is unrivaled. This vigorous, fast-growing vine is a sensory masterpiece, featuring dark purple stems, lush green leaves with violet veins, and cascading spikes of fragrant, lilac-pink flowers. But the true "wow" factor comes later in the season, when the plant produces stunning, "electric-purple" seed pods that shimmer like polished amethysts against the foliage. 📜 Historical Heritage: From Africa to Monticello The Purple Hyacinth Bean is an ancient heirloom with roots tracing back to Africa and India, where it has been cultivated for thousands of years as both an ornamental and a food crop. In American history, it is famously associated with Thomas Jefferson. He was so captivated by its beauty that he planted it at Monticello in 1804. By the Victorian era, it had become a staple of the "romantic garden," prized for its ability to quickly provide shade and privacy for porches and gazebos. While it is grown as a primary pulse (bean) crop in many parts of the world, in the West it is cherished as a premier ornamental that brings a touch of historical grandeur to the modern landscape. You may recognize this plant by its older name, Dolichos lablab. While botanists have recently updated its name to Lablab purpureus, it remains the same beloved heirloom climber that has graced historic gardens for centuries. ✨ Product Highlights Vertical Drama: A powerhouse climber that can reach 10–15 feet in a single season, creating an instant privacy screen or "living wall." Purple Everything: Stems, leaf veins, flowers, and pods all exhibit varying shades of deep violet and burgundy. Intoxicating Fragrance: The flowers emit a soft, sweet scent reminiscent of hyacinths or sweet peas. Pollinator Magnet: An absolute favorite for butterflies, honeybees, and hummingbirds. Heat Loving: Unlike many flowering vines that wilt in August, the Hyacinth Bean thrives in intense summer heat and humidity. 🛠️ Quick Growth Profile Feature Specifications Scientific Name Lablab purpureus Plant Type Annual (Tender Perennial in Zones 10+) Height / Length 10 to 15+ feet Sun Requirement Full Sun (8+ hours) Bloom Period Mid-Summer to Frost Days to Maturity 70–90 Days Growth Habit Vining / Climbing 🌱 How to Grow Purple Hyacinth Bean 1. Sowing the Seeds:Like most beans, the Hyacinth Bean loves warm soil and does not like being moved. When: Direct sow outdoors only after the soil has thoroughly warmed and all danger of frost is long gone. Preparation: For faster germination, soak the hard seeds in warm water for 12–24 hours before planting. Depth: Sow seeds 1 inch deep. Germination: Expect sprouts in 7–14 days. 2. The Perfect Spot:Select a location with Full Sun. This vine needs a sturdy support system from the very beginning. A chain-link fence, a strong wooden arbor, or a tall cattle panel are ideal. 3. Maintenance: Spacing: Thin seedlings to 12 inches apart at the base of your support. Watering: Water regularly until established. Once the vines begin to climb, they are quite drought-tolerant, though consistent moisture leads to more flowers. Avoid Over-Fertilizing: Too much nitrogen will give you a massive green vine but very few of those beautiful purple flowers and pods. ⚠️ Important Safety Note While this plant is grown for food in some cultures, the raw mature beans and pods are toxic. They contain cyanogenic glycosides and must be boiled in multiple changes of water to be made safe for consumption. We recommend growing this variety strictly as a stunning ornamental to avoid any risk. Garden Tip: The electric-purple pods are legendary in the floral industry! Snip the pods while they are still shiny and firm to add an exotic, architectural element to your late-summer bouquets. 🧺💜

(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.

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.
