Hi Darlene, Thanks for staying in touch. All our seed packets will have the Latin nomenclature prominently displayed. This is the organic white-flowered Achillea millefolium. There’s a picture of it on the front of the packet. All the best, Richo

Hello, what kind of hyssop is included in the Glorious Garden packet? Also, how often should these herbs be fertilized?

Richo Cech –
Hi Jasmyne, Thanks for contacting. Gardeners are reporting excellent results with these plants in standard garden soil–they do not need fertilization like vegetables do. The Hyssop is the official kind–Hyssopus officinalis–a really easy grow and source of one of the most rewarding aromas on planet earth. richo

I just seen your comment underneath the Helichrysum plant. You mentioned fertilizing plants when they’re 1 years old. So, grow them from seed but don’t fertilize them till they’re 1 years old? Then would we need to fertilize them again again, a year later? What do you recommend fertilizing them with?

Hi Jazmyne,
Thanks for writing! Anything like this, that can be tricky to overwinter successfully, should not be fertilized in the fall. This creates soft growth that can easily be frost damaged. Plants like this eat light. That is their main source of sustenance. Potting soils should be sandy and fast-draining, not overly rich. Appropriate fertilizers might be worm castings, bat guano, organic compost or a mixture of all 3. Side-dressing should be done once only, in the spring. Please read the Helichrysum monograph on page 232 of “Growing Plant Medicine Vol 1.” All the best, Richo

Hello Nicolene, Thanks for contacting and we do love south africa. Unfortunately seeds don’t tend to make it to the buyer from south africa, something about customs and lack of trustworthy postal system. Richo

these are chosen to do well in the northern temperate zone. specific zone designations (e.g. zones 3 to 8, etc) will be in the monographs on this website and wherever relevant on the seed packets themselves.

hi gwendolyn,
Thanks for writing, thanks for wanting this. Here’s a snippet from our FAQs page that is on the bottom right hand corner of our homepage:
Q: How long do your seeds last in storage and how should I store them for later use?
A: In general dried medicinal herb seed (e.g. Astragalus, Echinacea, Motherwort) lasts 3 years in storage. A few species (e.g. Chamomile, Valerian) are shorter-lived and may give reduced germination after 12 months in storage. Store dried seeds in their paper packet in a lidded glass jar or sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator. Never, ever put our seeds in the freezer! Meanwhile, here’s what we really think: Sow all the seeds in the packet at once (these are single serving packets) in the appropriate environment. For best results, sow soon after receipt. We change out our medicinal herb seed yearly to the new harvest, have a last seed in first seed out policy, and would think that if you need seed in a year’s time it would make sense to order it then, not now!

Question
Concetta West –
If I purchase the Glorious Garden medicinal Seed set…approximately how many seeds would each packet contain? I have 5 children and I would like to get everyone together to start growing these beneficial plants. Are there enough seed for each person to plant 3-5 seeds?
Upvote if this was helpful (0) Downvote if this was not helpful (0) Watch Unwatch Flag for removal
Richo Cech –
Hi Concetta, The glorious garden packets contain the same generous number of seeds per packet as the standard packets on this website, so you can cross-reference to get an exact count. The seeds per packet do vary according to species but 50 seeds is average. Everyone would have plenty of seeds to plant, richo

Question
Harini –
Would this grow in Salt Lake City? Can I start it directly in the garden, or should I start indoors? Are any of these plants unable to withstand the cold, and if so, can they remain indoor container plants?
Upvote if this was helpful (0) Downvote if this was not helpful (0) Watch Unwatch Flag for removal
Richo Cech –
hello harini, the plants are chosen to be widely adaptable to the USA. Depending on facilities and skill level seeds can be direct-seeded, started in a greenhouse or under lights. One way to maintain control of the planting and assure plants of each type is to sow one packet per gallon pot and keep outdoors in a protected location. make sure to barely cover the seeds with soil and tamp the planting, then keep warm and evenly moist until the seeds come up. Thin to 3 plants per pot and grow on until large enough to transplant to garden. richo

Hi Synthia, Thanks for your interest! Short of trying to give you germ rates on 48 different species, let me just try to reassure you that all seed is of current lots and is the same seed we use to grow our nursery plants. These are generally started in a greenhouse or under lights and transplanted outdoors in the spring. richo

hi! love your seeds- i have purchased in the past and has great germination rates. quick question… how do these do at an elevation of 9000’? in technically in zone 5 but i garden to zone 3 due to the short grow seasons and 40 degree temp swings in one day. i do a back to eden garden style and use a lot of chicken maneuver for nitrogen to give everything a boost.
i do have a sun room and a heated green house i can grow some of the more fragile varieties in. was curious if these would work well. i know quite a few are native to colorado so i’m familiar with growing some of these here.

Richo Cech –
Hi Synthia, thanks for contacting and I’d much rather read “chicken maneuver” than “chicken manure” because humor is the spice of life. Glorious garden is a pretty potent cross-section of what is most reasonable in the medicinal herb realm for temperate growers to try to grow. Since you have facilities, all of them will work for you and will want various degrees of protection. The recommended hardiness zones are on each packet. One approach that I’ve seen work really well is to plant one packet per gallon pot, then thin to the 3 best seedlings, then when they develop sufficiently prick the 3 seedlings out so they become 3 gallon size potted plants. Just that much, well, it gives you incredible diversity of species and a little diversity at least within each type. Richo

Hi Shriver, Most of these are herbaceous perennials that not only withstand a cold winter, they require it. Some of these, though, would need protection in your zone. You can check the individual monographs for the zone recommendations. Richo

Hi! Many of these are herbaceous perennials that do better in colder zones, but if you were to plant all of them, I think about 50% would work, which in and of itself would be a lot of gardening (24 species). If you’re looking for a better batting average, try our new RESILIENCE seed collection–these are more warm weather loving. richo

Hello! If I was to seed all of these in pots, would the plants tolerate that well and be healthy for later transplant when they are bigger and stronger? If so, what pot size would you suggest? Thank you very much! I was so excited when I stumbled on your website…!

Richo Cech –
Hello Billie,
I do encourage people to start these seeds in pots. For the most part the increased control allows for better results over direct-seeding in the garden. We tried this one time with good results. We planted a packet per gallon pot and were able to choose out the best plants to keep and repot to more pots. Richo

Hi, I currently live in a zone 6-7 but am moving to a zone 9a area in Arizona. Will the seeds/plants be able to handle that environment well or would you recommend an indoor grow? I really love your seed quality

Richo Cech –
hello sib, thanks for contacting. we’ve chosen these plants based on medicinal attributes and general adaptability to a wide range of environments. most plants are happier outside than in. Arizona can be harsh and this can be mitigated by erecting a 40% shadecloth and watering regularly. drip irrigation can be water saving when growing in the SW. richo

Debra Evelyn (verified owner) –
I just ordered the glorious package and am excited. Thank you. I live in zone 6b and would love to plant seeds in the fall. Do you recommend any of the seeds that might do well sown right into the garden? I have an 1/8 acre with a mix of full sun to shade. Mostly clay. With compost. Some wet and drier spots. I read about the gallon pots. I don’t have much room for them or that much sun in my windows.

hi debra, thanks for writing. if greenhouse facilities are not available, in a cold 6-b you’re going to want to plant the glorious garden seeds in the spring garden. right, compost is the fix for clay. if you want more control than just sowing the seeds in rows in the garden, then plant them in gallon pots in the spring outdoors and thin and transplant the seedlings when they size up. richo
