Flowering Plants - Seedlings

This architectural plant is absolutely stunning at all stages, from the moment it pokes its feathery head out in the spring to the yellow-tipped flower umbels in the fall. 

We grow Bronze Fennel in our food garden for the delicious anise-tasting leaves and seeds, but also as an incredible pollinator magnet that increases biodiversity. It's a host plant for several swallowtail butterfly species, including Anise Swallowtail and Eastern Black Swallowtail, while its nectar is an important food source for many types of bees and wasps. We've also spotted Ruby Throated Hummingbirds paying a visit!

The leaves of Bronze Fennel are delicious fresh in salads, and can be dried for seasoning. All parts of the plant, including the seeds, make a delicious and soothing tea.

NOTE: This a perennial plant with roots, not the bulb-forming fennel veggie you may be more familiar with.

Dark crimson plumes along with large burgundy leaves make passersby stop in their tracks when they see Amaranth Velvet Curtains growing in our gardens. This Dr. Seuss-like plant is a must-grow for late summer and fall bouquets along with sunflowers and asters.

Easy to grow, full sun, well draining soil, can grow up to 4 ft tall! Dries wonderfully, too.

I will never have a food garden without Borage. This stunning herb has unique blue-purple star-shaped flowers that pollinators - especially bumble bees - absolutely crawl over all season long.

Every part of this plant is edible! It has a mild, cucumber-like taste that's delicious in salads and beverage garnishes. I dry the flower heads for bath salts, soap making + crafts, and when frozen in ice cubes, Borage makes a whimsical addition to drinks.

With piles of upright plumes in warm tones of orange and umber, Amaranth Hot Biscuits is a show-stopping cut flower we grow every season. It's a gorgeous backdrop in the garden that help create stunning late summer and fall bouquets along with sunflowers and asters.

It dries beautifully, too!

Full sun, well draining soil. Can grow up to 4 feet tall! But produce much smaller blooms when planted close together.

These gorgeous flowers absolutely pop in the garden, producing non-stop blooms from early summer-hard frost. They crawl with bumblebees, especially through the fall - non only for food, but as a soft sleeping bed in the cooling temperatures.

Blanket Flower need full sun and love the heat. I have them all over my property, in every type of soil - once established, they are happy as long as there's sun. Deadheading will keep the flowers prolific. A beautiful cut flower, tucked among amaranth, white phlox and sunflowers in a late summer bouquet.
