Renee’s Garden Seeds

Hello Gardening Friends! 

Today I was so happy to get my new seeds in the mail from Renee Shepherd of Renee’s Garden.  I am now a test garden for Renee, and she has such wonderful heirloom seeds, I wanted to show you what I chose.  Many of these varieties are exclusive to her site.   The packaging is so beautiful, and include very good planting information too.

Here is some of the things I will be growing this year….

Butterfly Snapdragon “Chantilly”

Plump, open-faced, fluted flowers closely spaced along tall graceful spikes -- a lovely candelabra of bloom. Our watercolor blend of creamy yellow, soft salmon, apricot-bronze, and candy -floss pink.

Cosmos Double “Rose Bon Bon”

Extra fancy, uniformly double blossoms packed with frilled petals in a rich romantic rose. This exceptionally beautiful and care-free new cosmos produces 3 inch flowers that bloom non-stop on long stems.

Alyssum, "Summer Peaches"

New alyssum from skilled Dutch breeders. Honey-scented blossom clusters form a ground-covering pastel tapestry in soft peachy tones. Easy to grow, fast to bloom.

Foxglove, "Apricot Faerie Queen"  Biennial

- elegant cottage garden favorites for light shade. The tall graceful spires are draped with elongated bells in a new creamy soft apricot shade with delicately speckled throats.

Sweet Peas, Antique, "Perfume Delight"

Heat-tolerant antique sweet pea blend of heirloom varieties, with an intense honey-orange fragrance, in a rich collage of vibrant single colors and bicolors.

Larkspur, "Parisian Pink"

Florist-quality Larkspur from our favorite French supplier. Branching 3 to 5 ft. tall spires packed with rose-pink double blossoms with just a hint of salmon.

Salvia, "Marble Arch"

Unusual ornamental whose upper floral bracts display gorgeous flags of color in intense indigo-blue, rich rose and pure white. Improved, long-blooming Dutch selection.

Hollyhock, "Apricot-Peach Parfait"

Beautiful new double hollyhocks in luscious
colors. Sturdy tall 5 to 7 foot stalks are packed with powder
puff blossoms that unfurl in delicious shades of apricot and
rosy-peach.

Sweet Peas, Scented, "Saltwater Taffy Swirls"

Very special long-stemmed "flake" varieties with big ruffled, fragrant flowers in soft pastel candy colors, swirled and sprinkled with deeper markings.

They are all so beautiful.  Thanks so much to Renee and others like her for keeping gardeners like me in mind…. who love old fashioned varieties…. which are very hard to find, especially the richly scented ones.  I am just so excited to see them in my own garden!

I am part of her “Seed Grow Project”  which will be so much fun…. basically I will be a test garden for new varieties…. what fun!  For that we will be growing a new nasturtium….

Nasturtium, Climbing, "Spitfire" 

Exclusive - Brilliant, scarlet-orange blossoms shine out amongst trailing green foliage, attracting hovering hummingbirds. Train up short trellises or tripods for a cascade of bright blossoms.

I can’t wait!!!  Thanks for visiting and Happy Gardening…..Brooke
