Seed Savers Exchange Blog

Seed Savers Exchange is a nonprofit, member supported organization that collects, preserves and shares heirloom seeds for our future. Since 1975, SSE and our supporters have collected the seeds and stories that would otherwise have been lost.

Great for crafts and display, for grinding into cornmeal, or for popcorn, glass gem corn is a versatile variety that bears ears with an array of jewel-toned kernels. A direct sow favorite! ❤️💜🧡 #corn #gardening #seedsaversexchange #seeds
Make way for the undeniable charm of the Tetra Mix Snapdragon Flower! Our Variety of the Month is this gorgeous semi-dwarf snapdragon, which grows from 18-24" high, enlivens garden beds and borders, as well as bouquets. All seed packets are 15% off this weekend. 🌱 #seedsaversexchange #TetraMixSnapdragon #Snapdragon #flowers

There's nothing quite like Zebrina! ❤️ A cottage garden favorite, these beautiful long-blooming flowers attract many bees and hummingbird moths. To enjoy a second bloom in mid to late summer, plants can be cut back to the ground and allowed to grow new foliage. 🌱#seedsaversexchange #zebrina #malvasylvestris #flowers

Looking for something beautiful to grow on your garden trellis? Our Purple Podded Pole Bean is a historic variety that climbs vigorously to 6'! It shows off an abundance of reddish-purple pods that are high-quality, hearty, and stringless. The pods grow 5-7"-long and turn to light green when cooked. Henry Field discovered this variety in an Ozarks garden in the 1930s. 💜#seedsaversexchange #beans
Black Cumin is grown for its aromatic black seeds that may be ground and used like pepper. Feathery-leaved plants have soft blue to white flowers with downward-turned petals that resemble a skirt. Like their relative, Love-in-a-Mist, the flowers of this species are followed by ornamental pods perfect for dried arrangements. And it is really pretty. 🌱 #seedsaversexchange #herbs
Heirlooms are varieties that have been passed down from generation to generation. You'll fall in love with their histories and exceptional qualities, and maybe even adopt them into your own gardening story. 🌱 Lina Sisco's Bird Egg Bean | Grandma Einck's Dill | Aunt Ruby's German Green Tomato | Grandpa Ott's Morning Glory | Jimmy Nardello's Pepper #seedsaversexchange #heirloomseeds #grow
