Common comfrey is widely used in organic agriculture as green manure. It can also be made into comfrey liquid manure or added to compost. This helps with soil fertility and thus plant growth.
Comfrey is also very popular among bumblebees and other bees that thoroughly enjoy its sweet nectar.
The plant easily reach a meter in height. The stem is a little prickly, and the leaves are large, alternate, pointy, and covered in hair. Above all of this, shoots grow where pink or purple flowers bloom in the middle of summer.
*For better germination rates, the seeds should be stratified. To do this, place the seeds in small bag full of humid sand of soil, and put the said bag in the fridge for 2 weeks.
*This comfrey is not Russian comfrey (such as Bocking 14). Russian comfrey doesn't produce seeds and would therefore be tricky to sell in seed packages.
Warning. We advise against regular comfrey consumption. The plant contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids which can be toxic for the liver in high dosage.

Some seeds from this plant were gifted to us by a friend claiming that they were called 'Ail de Caroline'. We do not yet know the exact identity of this plant, but we keep searching.
This small perennial plant is hardy in Quebec. It is very similar to garlic chives, yet it is not the same. The stems and leaves are slightly bigger, and have the same delicious taste as regular garlic and can be cooked the same way. Although it does not produce any significant underground bulb, the white base of this plant can be cut and eaten as garlic, just like the leaves.
Its purple flowers are gorgeous and are in bloom from July until the end of August, to pollinators' delight. This plant is ideal for permaculture gardens.
Not to be confused with with regular garlic nor wild garlic.
Package: 80-100 seeds

A true Quebec heritage treasure, Saint-Anne shallots is a perennial alliaceae. It effortlessly survives our Quebec winters, well-tucked under the snow cover.
It starts growing very early in the spring, and can be eaten at that point as green onions. Afterwards, it starts multiplying and the leaves begin to dry out. It should be harvested on June 24th, on Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day. Then it should be left to dry completely indoors, in order to eat it as much as to replant it on Saint-Anne Day, on July 26th. It will start growing again and storing energy for the winter. When spring returns, it all starts again!

Package: 6 to 8 small shallots from the spring. Due to the risks of mail shipping, we prefer to send them early in the spring, when they still germinate easily. They must be planted as soon as received, either indoors in pots or outdoors if it is later than mid-May.
