St-John’s Wort

There are numerous tobacco varieties, but woodland tobacco is the greatest. Literally. The plant grows big quickly, and the stems can branch out. The leaves are very long and large, oblong, and of a light green shade. The flowers are clustered in a tight panicle, and their colour is a pure white. At nighttime, the plant's perfume gets stronger and attracts moths and other night pollinators. Package: 200 seeds

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. Package: 25 seeds

Perennial plant originally from the Mediterranean basin (potentially from Egypt), naturalized all over Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. If the name includes the word 'cat', it is because this plant induces a strong reaction in most of those domesticated felines. They become euphoric and very excited; they will start rolling and sniffing around, and will do many other funny things. For humans, catnip is instead used to soothe pain and unrest. It is also relevant to mention that, before the British Empire discovered tea in its Chinese colonies, infused catnip was a favorite for the royal court. *This year, we were not able to harvest sufficient catnip seeds. Therefore, our seeds come from Jardin Vie-La-Joie. Package: 150 seeds (Germination is slow and sporadic, sow more than you need to obtain enough seedlings.)

Mullein leaves are strikingly fuzzy and soft to touch. The plant has been known for ages for its beneficial effects on the respiratory system, notably to fight coughing and bronchitis. For this, we can either infuse the flowers, or smoke the leaves. It can be grown purely for its beautiful yellow flowers. Package: 500 seeds
