(Echinacea Purpurea)
Echinacea Purpurea Coneflower (A.K.A. Purple Coneflower, Eastern Purple Coneflower, Hedgehog Coneflower)
Days to Maturity: 74–90 days (first-year bloom if started early); 300+ days to maturity when direct sown outdoors
Echinacea purpurea, or Purple Coneflower, is a resilient perennial native to the prairies and woodlands of the central and southeastern United States. Long cultivated for both beauty and utility, it has a history of medicinal use dating back to Native American traditions. The plant bears vibrant rosy-pink petals around a prominent orange cone, with blooms up to 5 inches wide. Growing 2–4 feet tall, it attracts bees, butterflies, and seed-loving birds throughout the season. Coneflower tolerates drought, heat, poor soils, and resists deer. It flourishes in full sun to partial shade, and when started early indoors, it often rewards gardeners with blooms that very same year!

Herb – Amaranth – Red Garnet
$2.49View ProductAdd to cartAnnual
(Amaranthus hypochondriacus)
Red Garnet Amaranth (A.K.A. Joseph’s Coat [U.S.], Kiwicha [Andes Region]...)
Days to Maturity: 40-120 Days
A staple in Mexico and parts of Asia, Red Garnet Amaranth has been cultivated for centuries for both its nutritious grains and tender greens. The plant reaches an impressive 6–10 feet, crowned with striking red and fuchsia flower spikes. Amaranth's tiny, pale, protein-rich grains have a sweet, nutty taste and can be toasted, cooked like quinoa, porridges, baked goods, or traditional dishes like Mexican "alegría", or ground into gluten-free flour. Its greens are similar to spinach, with a slightly nutty flavor, and are best when young as they can become slightly astringent when mature; young leaves are mild and can be added to salads, while older leaves are better cooked like spinach. Thriving in heat and drought, this versatile variety is ideal for warm climates. Amaranth can even be harvested as microgreens in just 15 days!

(Cuminum cyminum)
Cumin
Days to Maturity: Up to 120 Days
A warm-weather annual, cumin grows 12–20 inches tall and spreads 12–15 inches, with feathery foliage and soft white to pink umbels that add a delicate touch to herb beds or flower borders. It thrives in sunny, dry spots and its blooms attract beneficial insects like ladybugs and lacewings, making it a helpful companion near pest-prone crops. Earthy and pungent in flavor—stronger than caraway—the seeds are used whole, roasted, or ground in curries, chili, hummus, and pickles. The young leaves can also be used fresh to add a mild, herbal note to salads, soups, or used as a garnish. Packed with vitamins A, C, and E, plus iron and antioxidants, cumin is both flavorful and ornamental.

Rich in vitamins A and C, plus potassium and iron, Sweet Fennel brings flavor and nutrition to the garden!
