Mexican Seed Collection
Mexico has a fantastically diverse range of vegetables and flowers. The culture has deep respect for their foods and traditions and many of their crops are used in both national and religious celebrations. Our most fond memories of trips to Mexico involve food with friends and meals that were prepared lovingly with wonderful homegrown ingredients. These ten seed varieties are some of our favorites that we have brought home from Mexico and received from friends of Mexican heritage. We hope you enjoy them!
The collection includes:
Cempasúchil Marigold (Tagetes erecta) - approximately 40 seeds
Cucamelon (Melothria scabra) - approximately 20 seeds
Jalapeño Pepper (Capsicum annuum) - approximately 20 seeds
Mexican Sunflower (Tithonia rotundifolia) - approximately 40 seeds
Chiapas Tomatillo (Physalis philadelphica) - approximately 25 seeds
Bottle Gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) - approximately 15 seeds
Scarlet Runner Beans (Phaseolus coccineus) - approximately 25 seeds
Sol de Chiapas Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) - approximately 20 seeds
Oaxacan Cosmos (Cosmos sulphureus) - approximately 40 seeds
Cilantro (Coriandrum sativum) - approximately 40 seeds
The collection of ten seed packets comes in a cloth gift bag and we include a pamphlet with a little history of each variety and a description of where we harvested the parent seed.
We hope you enjoy growing these wonderful varieties!
