Rhubarb

Haven’t we all had a grandma that made us rhubarb jams?
An easy to grow perennial, this plant is notably ideal for Guerilla Gardening. Under the cover of the night, you subtly go plant a rhubarb seedling. The small plant will go unnoticed until, a year or two later, it starts growing abundant and delicious leaves. With your care, it will be so healthy and thriving that the City won’t want to remove it. Then, you will harvest the stems to offer to your grandma, who will return in a Mason jar as jam. Isn’t this life cycle beautiful?

Package: 25 seeds

BEWARE: the leaves are toxic, only eat the stems.

Ail vivace de Caroline (Carolina Perennial Garlic)
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 For a thorough explanation of how to plant the bulbils, head to (in French only) : http://terrepromise.ca/culture-bulbilles-dail/

Tree Onion
** CANNOT BE SHIPPED OUT OF CANADA ** The tree onion, or Egyptian onion, has been grown in Quebec for a long time. It is mentioned as early as in the 1820s, and was allegedly brought in with the first colonizers. However its true origin remains mysterious; some people claim that it comes from Catawissa, a town in Pennsylvania, while others say it comes from China. It is a perennial onion that produces, at the tip of its leaves, clusters of red grape-sized bulbils. The most commonly harvested parts are these bulbils and the bulb, but the leaves can also be used, chopped just like chives. After 2 to 3 years, the plant might start feeling a bit crowded at its base: divide the bunch, and transplant individual sections further apart. Extra ones can be eaten like green onions. The tree onion has an elongated bulb that ranges from small to medium in size. Package: About 8 small bulbils per order
