Sunflower - Ornamental Mix

$2.39

Sunflowers prefer full sun and they will grow in almost any soil. The Ornamental Blend includes Velvet Queen, Autumn Beauty, Lemon Queen, and Indian Blanket. Although they are drought tolerant, they take considerable moisture. The colors range from a soft, pretty lemon yellow to a dark velvety burgundy and from a orange/bronze bicolor to an almost endless other sunflower shades. The Sunflower Ornamental Blend, 'Helianthus annuus', is simply the prettiest combination of sunflowers we have ever seen. For best results water frequently. Sunflowers make excellent cut flowers, are drought tolerant, and they bloom all summerPlant in the spring after the last average frost date. These sunflowers may need to be staked if they get too tall. ... details

Mache Corn Salad - Big Seeded We chose the big-seeded Mache variety because it handles spring/summer heat without getting bitter. Great for both north and south gardens. This old garden green, enjoyed in the late stone age, contrasts nicely with the sharp-flavored greens in salads. The leaves are so tender, they melt in your mouth. In northern climates, plant in early spring as soon as the ground is workable. To harvest, simply cut off at ground level. It tastes delightful cooked quickly like spinach and combines nicely with fruits and vegetables. The Mache Corn Salad Big Seeded, 'Valerianella locusta', has the mildest flavor and softest texture of any salad green. Mache Corn Salad is cool season annual.
