How To Grow:
​

265 seeds/gram. An outstanding perennial that is very easy to grow. Loves full sun but will tolerate partial shade. Attracts beneficial insects such as pollinators and butterflies. Seeds are an important late summer and early fall food source for Gold Finches. There is a rich folklore associated with Echinacea, attributing extracts of its roots with the ability to heal the common cold. This robust perennial will turn heads wherever planted and withstand more heat and drought than most. Sow outdoors September through October or start indoors Feb to Mar 1st for bloom the first season. Indoors use a soil-less growing medium and keep the container at 20-25 C (70-80 F) for the 10-15 day germination period. After germination grow on under lights at a slightly cooler temperature. When planting out after hardening off the seedlings, select a site in full sun with good air circulation.

Who are we?

Canada's - Heirloom - Non-GMO - Heritage vegetable garden seeds supplier.  Support your secluded seed production across Canada.

What are Heirloom Seeds:

In the past, heirloom seeds were typically handed down to a son or daughter of a farmer who was getting married.  This was considered a wedding gift to help provide for the newly formed family.  Now these heirloom seed varieties are sought after because of their diversity and their widespread growing regions that has helped to keep them isolated from Genetically Engineered Varieties.   The most common reason for seeking out heirloom seeds is to find varieties that are resistant to various molds and crop diseases depending on the region in which you are trying to grow.
