Heirloom Tomatoes

• Cherokee Purple — These have a rich, full flavor that is tangy and sweet. At full ripeness, they make an excellent tomato sandwich or addition to your favorite sub.
• Pineapple Bicolor — Great old-fashioned full, complex flavors. A good choice heirloom for slicing into sandwiches or salads.

Hybrid Tomatoes

• Celebrity — A dependable, disease-resistant variety with firm, flavorful fruits perfect for all-purpose use.
• Big Beef — Large, juicy tomatoes with excellent flavor, ideal for sandwiches and fresh eating.
• San Marzano — A classic Italian plum tomato prized for rich flavor, perfect for sauces and canning.

Cherry Tomatoes

• SunGold — A favorite golden-orange cherry tomato known for its intense, fruity sweetness.
• Supersweet 100 — Prolific clusters of bright red cherry tomatoes with exceptional sweetness.
• Black Cherry — Deep, dusky-colored cherries with rich, complex, slightly smoky flavor.

Sweet Peppers

• Revolution Green Bell — Thick-walled green bell pepper with crisp texture and excellent yield.
• Flavorburst Yellow Bell — Bright yellow bell pepper with sweet, juicy flavor and beautiful color.
• Carmen Frying Pepper — An Italian-style pepper with sweet flavor, perfect for frying, roasting, or fresh use.

Hot Peppers

• Pablano — Mild heat pepper with rich flavor, excellent for stuffing, roasting, and traditional dishes.
• Jalafuego Jalapeno — A vigorous jalapeño with consistent heat and thick walls, great for fresh use or pickling.
• Shishito — A thin-skinned Japanese pepper, mostly mild with the occasional surprise heat, perfect for blistering.

Herbs

• Genovese Basil (DMR – Downy Mildew Resistant) — Authentic flavor and appearance. This Genovese-type basil is compact, but highly productive.
• Chives — Mild onion-flavored herb, perfect for finishing dishes and adding fresh garden flavor.

Flowers

• Zahara Zinnias — An easy-to-grow choice for cheerful color in the garden or pots. These were bred for powdery mildew resistance and long-lasting color for landscapes and garden beds.
• 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.
• 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.
• Lemondrop Marigolds — Every gardener will delight in this adorable, sunny yellow, petite flower on small, compact plants. Lemon Drop adds a bright spot of color to the front of the bed, patio containers, and window boxes.
