Celosia argentea spicata -MIX
Celosia is a genus of edible and ornamental annual or short-lived perennial (zones 9-11) grown as an ornamental for its distinctive, erect flower spikes sort of reminiscent of a sheaf of wheat that give it the common name of wheat celosia. Grown for their unique, textural blooms, celosias are vigorous and free flowering. Easy to grow plants. Brilliant colours in a range of reds, pinks, orange, salmon, yellow and cream.
I originally received this seed called C. 'Pampas Plume' but I do not think it is. It seems more to me a "C. spicata' so have named it such. The pictures are mine and exactly what this mix looks like.

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.
Bean ‘Trionfo Violetto’ Pole Bean
Translated from Italian, this bean's name means "purple triumph", and this Italian heirloom will surely win you over! This treasure is a crisp, flavorful treat & highly ornamental. Abundant lavender flowers bloom against lush green foliage with a hint of burgundy that almost seems to be applied with a water-color brush. All of this accented against slender, dark stems, and long, thin, purple beans that are delicious fresh off the vine! It is so pretty you may want to grow it even if you don’t eat a single bean!
Stunning, prolific, and delicious!

Verbascum Chaixii ‘Sixteen Candles’
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. ‘Sixteen Candle's' proud yellow spires command attention. One of the few truly perennial species of mullein, it has sulphur-yellow blossoms with purple and red filaments, which bloom profusely on long flower stalks in mid and late summer, above its rosettes of hairy, jagged-edged leaves which are semi-evergreen. The graceful spikes make a lovely vertical accent in the garden and bloom over a very long flowering period extending from late spring to late summer with possible fall re bloom. Makes a majestic statement in the garden!
These plants are well-adapted to cottage gardens, gravel, and rock gardens, or even naturalized areas. This is one of the better-behaved Mulleins that may gently self-seed but rarely becomes a nuisance!Great for cut flower bouquets.
Loves a dry very well drained sandy or rocky soil in the sun.
