New & Returning Varieties for 2025

granny hobbs collard purple lovegrass Cajun Jewel Okra

For 2025 we’re adding 21 new varieties to our listings. Cajun Jewel okra (pictured above right) is a great early-bearing Louisiana variety. Purple Lovegrass (pictured above center) and Short-Toothed Mountain Mint are native plants newly listed by SESE this year: we hope you’ll seize the opportunity to support pollinators and other wildlife. Granny Hobbs collards (pictured above left) and Minnie Mizelle collards are treasured family heirlooms whose preservation is thanks to the Heirloom Collard Project. We’re delighted to bring back Sieva, a small white-seeded pole lima with great flavor that dates back to the 1700s. Balcony petunia is a fragrant heirloom that grows luxuriously either in the ground or a balcony planter.
