Native to Mexico and Central America, Gomphrena is one of the toughest annuals we carry. They thrive in hot, sunny spots and are drought tolerant. Their colorful, clover-like bracts appear non-stop from spring until frost, no dead-heading required! Their papery texture makes them a long-lasting cut flower and they will even retain their color when dried. Globe amaranth attracts butterflies and is deer resistant. We have 5 varieties in stock now!

Thyme is one of the most versatile herbs, offering fragrant, savory leaves for cooking with as well as ornamental qualities that can be enjoyed in containers or flower beds. English and French thyme are the best choices for culinary use. Golden lemon and orange thyme (the "citrus" thymes) can be used to flavor dishes or simply enjoyed for their lovely scents. Creeping thymes are extremely sun and heat tolerant and make excellent ground covers, especially planted between paving stones in the garden. All varieties of thyme thrive in at least 3 or 4 hours of sun (or more) and require well-drained soil. Their low, spreading habit makes them ideal to plant near the edge of flower beds or containers, where they can flow and spill.
