Yarrow - Common-White Milfoil
The Yarrow Commom White Milfoil, 'Achillea millefolium', is an incredibly fast growing lawn substitute or ground cover for dry areas. It is winter hardy in any climate. This Yarrow is a mat forming, weed suppressing ground cover. Common White Milfoils are fire resistant, drought tolerant, spreads rapidly, and is very cold tolerant. The small 1/8 inch pure white flowers appear in flat clusters atop long stems. They bloom from late spring into early fall. Common White Milfoils must have well drained or relatively dry soils. They cannot tolerate soggy soils. They also grow well in alkaline or acid soils. Plant in the spring after the last average frost date or late summer/early fall. Small plants will over winter well and have ahead start in the next spring. Plant in full sun for best results. This Yarrow is great in many climates from sea to mountains. ... more information
Mache Corn Salad - Big Seeded The Mache Corn Salad Big Seeded, 'Valerianella locusta', has the mildest flavor and softest texture of any salad green. The leaves are so tender, they melt in your mouth. We chose the big-seeded Mache variety because it handles spring/summer heat without getting bitter. This old garden green, enjoyed in the late stone age, contrasts nicely with the sharp-flavored greens in salads. It tastes delightful cooked quickly like spinach and combines nicely with fruits and vegetables. Mache Corn Salad is cool season annual. In northern climates, plant in early spring as soon as the ground is workable. In mild climates, plant in the fall for winter harvest. Mache is good for intercropping among larger vegetables such as broccoli and looks great with other greens. |
