Dolce Fresca Basil - 2015 Edible/Vegetable AAS Winner

Basil Dolce Fresca

Great for gardeners looking for drought tolerant, hearty plants, foodies interested in a new and better basil and anyone who wants that great Mediterranean taste added to their cuisine.

These vigorous strawberry plants are easy to grow, from seed or transplant, and produce an abundant harvest throughout the growing season.

Strawberry Delizz®

These vigorous strawberry plants are easy to grow, from seed or transplant, and produce an abundant harvest throughout the growing season.

Pepitas Pumpkin - The newest All-America Selections award winning pumpkin, Pepitas, is a winner in both the decorative and culinary arenas.

Pumpkin Pepitas

Pepitas is named for its hulless or naked seeds (pepitas) that lack the tough outer hull making them easy to eat after slow-roasting.
