Herbs

• Chives — Mild onion-flavored herb, perfect for finishing dishes and adding fresh garden flavor.

Flowers

• Jewel Nasturtiums — Bright, jewel-toned flowers in shades of red, orange, and yellow with soft, rounded leaves. Easy to grow, they spill beautifully from beds or containers and bloom all season. Both flowers and leaves are edible with a light, peppery flavor.
• Tall Blue Ageratum — A favorite for summer gardens and containers. The tall Blue Planets appear in tight, blue clusters on plants 24 to 30 inches tall with sturdy stems.
• Brocade Marigold — This charming French marigold is an early and continuous bloomer. Just the right height for edging flowerbeds and borders.
• Double-click Cosmos — Full, ruffled blooms in soft shades. Light, airy plants that bloom all season.
• Oklahoma Zinnias — A reliable accent flower, the Oklahoma series has an excellent vase life offering medium-sized, sturdy double and semi-double blooms.
• Cut n’ Come Again Zinnias — Bright blooms in warm colors. Shortest of the cutting zinnias we grow, it will grow just to about 2 feet and is a better “fit” for many flower beds.
• Benary Giant Cutting Zinnias (very tall, mixed) — Tall, vibrant blooms ideal for cutting gardens and long-lasting arrangements.
