Plant gardens with pollinators in mind! We all think bees but many other insects like ants, flies, butterflies and moths also pollinate our gardens and native landscapes. Adding flowering plants to your farm or city garden is one small way we can all create new habitat!

Salvia sclarea

100 seeds/pack

Hands down, the number one attraction to this plant is the heavenly scent emitted by the lavender/white flower spikes that can reach 5-6 feet. The scent is sweet yet has a hint of citrus. The show stopping flowers are amazing too! The seeds have traditionally been used in eye washes and the leaves as fixatives in potpourri. This plant is a perennial and will reseed itself in the garden as well. Perennial and very drought tolerant.

Eschscholzia californica

50 seeds/pack   Heirloom

California Poppy is a widely distributed native wildflower throughout the west coast. The iconic golden blooms give way to narrow seed pods that readily self sow new plants. They are summer drought tolerant and will easily perennialize in well drained open spots. They do not like their roots disturbed so it is best to direct seed them in early spring or late fall.

Fagopyrum esculentum

100 seeds/pack   |   70-84 days   |   Heirloom

Excellent summer cover crop.  Loosens heavy soils and adds organic matter.  The roots of buckwheat are very fibrous.  It is also an excellent forage crop for pollinators that love the small white flowers.  We use it extensively in our seed gardens to lessen chances of cross pollination.  And of course, the dried seeds can be ground for human consumption.  Buckwheat pancakes anyone?
