Spring Flowers

The California Poppy graces many a sun-drenched meadow throughout California and the Southwest with its brilliant orange, saucer-shaped flowers. On bright days, the poppy’s silky petals open to greet the sun. At dusk, the golden blooms close into tightly fluted repose.

These beauties can be grown anywhere. In areas with hard freezes, they are annuals; in temperate regions, perennials. Wherever they are grown, they are sure to bring a splash of sunshine from the Golden State!

Sunflowers are delightful and versatile. They grow quickly and give a brilliant splash of color in a remarkably short time. Few things evoke the beauty and brightness of summertime better than these sunny giants!

This super fun Grow Kit gives you everything you need to plant a whole patch of very large, impressive sunflowers, plus creative planting ideas and even a recipe for roasting the delicious seeds they produce.

This 100% guaranteed germination kit provides everything needed to grow an heirloom apple tree from seed, including seeds, growing medium, mini-greenhouse, and detailed growing instructions.

Apple trees have been cherished and cultivated for thousands of years by people of many cultures from every corner of the world. The amazing and generous apple tree has been one of humanity’s favorite trees — growing alongside us throughout most of recorded history. It was perhaps 10,000 years ago that farmers in the mountains of Asia first began growing and “domesticating” apple trees. After thousands of years of cross-pollination, today’s seed-grown apple trees are genetically more related to crabapples than their wild ancestors. 

Apple trees are members of the rose family, and are generally small- to medium-sized trees which burst with lovely five-petaled white-to-pink blooms each spring and adorn themselves with ripening orbs of growing fruit throughout the summer. 

You can live pretty much anywhere from Antarctica to the subtropics and still grow and enjoy nasturtiums!

With the ability to thrive across vastly different climates, Tropaeolum majus (better known as common or garden nasturtium), brings its unique beauty to yards, trellises, and planter boxes from areas with punishing, near arctic-level winter temperatures (-50°F) to regions at the opposite extreme, in the warmest range of all growing zones. This amazing flexibility is just the beginning of the many commendable qualities of the humble nasturtium.
