The Egyptian Walking Onion is a hardy, perennial onion that can be used for its edible green shoots as a substitute to chives and the bulbs make for a great spring onion. New bulbs set at the top of the scapes which bend over due to the weight and plant themselves which is how they get the name "walking" onion. Excellent companion plant!
Also known as Jerusalem Artichoke, the Sunchoke (a perennial sunflower) produces enormous amounts of edible tubers that can be cooked like potatoes. They are high in micronutrients such as potassium and contain inulin which is a prebiotic that benefits gut health. Full sun and well drained soil.
An easy to grow, cut-and-come-again perennial vegetable with an upright, spreading growth. Less susceptible to pests than annual varieties. Full sun to part shade and well drained soil.
A prolific producer of rich, dark berries. Noted for its Anthocyanin content. Clustered flowers are insectary. Growth is 4-6' per year if cut back in the winter after all the leaves have fallen. Moist to dry soils. Full-sun on the coast. Berries must be cooked before eating.
Classic red currant with chains of hanging berries. Does not require pectin when making jams and jellies. Full sun on the coast, part-shade inland.
The Brown Turkey is a classic purple fruit with great flavor and does well in coastal regions in full sun. It will produce two crops in warmer regions. The Italian Honey Fig is a large, green fruit with a special, light fig sweetness and does well in warmer regions. Figs prefer confined roots so they make for a fun container plant.
Not as prolific a producer as the red; however, the black berries are delicious and high in Anthocyanins. Full sun on the coast, part-shade inland.
The queen of mineralization. The purple flowers attract native and honeybees. Large leaves can be laid as mineral rich mulch in the garden. Will spread if disturbed.
Just like purple comfrey, but with a "creeping" growth pattern that lends itself as a beneficial ground cover.
Our Beneficial Kits were field tested and the results were incredible! Kits include a pest trap, predator host, pollinator host and nitrogen fixing plants. They are designed to be planted in the center of perennial gardens or at the end-caps of raised beds.
