About Our Seeds

SAFE SEED PLEDGE

We pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds.

ANNUALS, BIENNIALS AND PERENNIALS
Annuals are plants which complete their life cycle, flowering and going to seed in their 1st year. They have the longest bloom season.

Biennials grow strong plants in their 1st season which bloom in their 2nd season and self-seed, then die providing their own replacements for the next year. Selfperpetuating. Perennials’ leaves die back in winter and renew growth each spring. Some bloom 1st yr. from seed and others start in their 2nd yr. They often live for decades. Bloom time is generally shorter.


CLIMATE ZONES
Although we are based in Ontario, our seeds go to many countries and so we have chosen varieties which will thrive in a wide diversity of climates. Annuals generally do not require zoning but rather have cultural requirements, which you will see with the listings. Perennials will have their zones indicated as a guide. We welcome any input on your findings. Zones go as follows, indicating lowest temperature in winter:

Conversion Chart Bookmark
The measurement and temperature conversion charts on the back of our bookmarks received such positive feedback - we thought it only fitting to add them to our website. Download your printable copy here in pdf format.


A NOTE ON BUTTERFLIES
We have come to learn that in many parts of North America butterflies are disappearing at an increasing rate, greatly due to habitat destruction and lack of food sources. When making your seed selections, please take note of this symbol. There are so many other winged and feathered creatures that we can invite into our gardens, giving us the pleasure of their company and giving them the food for their survival. Please let us know of your experiences and feel free to recommend other flowers with pleasing characteristics. We’ll consider including them in our stock.

A WORD ON DEADHEADING
Done in the early evening, a glass of your favourite beverage in one hand and snippers in the other, a round of deadheading in the garden can actually be a pleasant chore. A chance to admire your fine work, removing spent blooms as you go. Not only will it keep your plants looking fresh, it also prevents them from running to seed, a signal to the plant that it can finish flowering. In many flowering plants deadheading will prolong both bloom time and quantity of blooms. A worthwhile task indeed.

PRICING:
Individual packages $3.80, Mixtures $5.45, Collections $16.50, all others as stated. All pricing is subject to change without notice. Please check our website for current pricing.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
Upon receipt of your order we can usually have it filled and mailed within 4-5 business days. Orders received at high-volume times could take longer. If you are in a rush, please indicate it on your order.

SEED COUNTS:
We package by measurement and our seed counts are approximate. We ensure that every package contains a very generous seed count.

CONDITION OF SEED
All seed is untreated and non-GMO. A very few varieties are untreated hybrid but are noted as such. Our seeds are fresh, and you should expect good germination and a bountiful yield, given the right growing conditions.

SEED STORAGE
Store seeds away from heat and moisture, in a dark, cool place.

EDIBILITY
Please note that unless stated that a plant is edible, it is advisable to research it before doing so. Many plants and seeds are toxic, so please be careful.
