Bean ‘Sunset’ Runner
Beautiful peach-pink blossoms are one of a kind!  Attractive enough for flower gardens or patios, but this one is in a class by itself with luminous peach to shell-pink blossoms - absolutely unique! Vines to 6' (2m) or so, covered  with cascades of runner bean pods, equally wonderful whether used as snaps fresh, canned or frozen, or as shell beans. Can also be used as a dry bean.   Lovely!

Lupin Mix
Lupin Mix
A member of the pea family, Lupins are a wonderful old-fashioned flower, with spires of blue, yellow, pink, purple, white, peach and bicolours.. Although they are perennials, lupins are in the class of short-lived perennials. They put all their energy into those magnificent flower stalks and wear themselves out in the effort. Lupins live in the range of two to five years, but luckily they will self seed and the butterflies and bumblebees will love you.   *All parts of this plant are poisonous, including the seeds. Exercise extreme caution around children and pets. The purchaser assumes all liability relating to the use of this product.

Looking for a pollinator magnet??? Look no further. Check this video out!
These upstanding candelabras of copious violet-eyed sunshine-hued flowers stage a truly incandescent spectacle.. One of the few truly perennial species of mullein, it has sulphur-yellow blossoms with purple & red filaments. Blooms profusely on long flower stalks in mid- late summer. The graceful spikes make a lovely vertical accent in the garden and bloom over a very long flowering period & the pollinators will go crazy for it! Makes a majestic statement in the garden!

Pea – ‘Blue Pod Capucijners’
Pea – ‘Blue Pod Capucijners’
The Blue-podded Capucijner (cap-ou-SIGH-nah) is a hardy pea first grown by the Franciscan Capuchin monks. Its particularly beautiful, bi-colored flowers are lilac/pink and wine-red/purple, fading to blue as they wilt; pods are deep inky purple/blue. It is best used to make delicious, full-bodied soups; also an edible-podded sugar pea.  Great long term storage food. Soaring, vining plants are smothered in the most striking dark purple pea pods. A rich eggplant color, these shelling peas are as delicious as they are beautiful; pick early for best flavor. The vining stems make a wonderful and unexpected addition to summer flower arrangements and are a real conversation starter. A must grow heirloom. Beautiful heirloom pea that is pretty enough to grow as an ornamental for the edible gardening fans, even if you don't like peas. The dark colored pods really stand out against the background of the bright green leaves making them very easy to pick. It is a good choice for children and the elderly. Approximately 30 seeds per packet. (read more below)
