This old variety produces slightly flattened, ribbed fruits weighing 3 to 4 kg. Their blue-gray skin encloses thick, orange flesh with a sweet, chestnut-like flavor.
This old-fashioned, highly productive variety offers "marrow squash" type fruits, swollen on the flower side and up to 35 cm long. Their creamy-white skin encloses highly prized flesh.
This variety produces a rosette of green, triangular, crisp leaves. It is particularly suitable for winter and spring cultivation, and is very fast-growing.
This variety, selected for its resistance to cold and its vigor, adapts to the harshest conditions. Its pronounced taste, reminiscent of wild arugula, offers complex flavors.
This old variety produces red half-long roots with white tips and tender, crunchy flesh all year round, as long as sowing is staggered.
This very early radish will produce its first harvest just 2 or 3 weeks after sowing!
This variety, selected for its resistance to basil blight, has very large, slightly serrated, flat green leaves, 6 to 7 cm long.
This variety, perennial in milder climates but often annual in our regions, produces an abundance of flowers with delicate white petals on plants 30 to 40 cm high.
This species forms clumps of round, thin, hollow leaves 15 to 25 cm long. Its pink, onion-flavored flowers appear in abundance in early summer.
If the plants are cut back before the seeds set, a second bloom may appear at the end of the season.
The highly branched stems of this variety bear 6 to 30 flowers, 5 to 10 cm in diameter. They range in color from yellow to orange, brown, yellow and green, and make excellent cut flowers.
The flower petals are great for salads, and the seeds are very popular with birds.
Phacelia is not only one of the most mellifluous cultivated plants, but also an excellent green manure. It offers many advantages: rapid growth, high biomass production, dense, branched root system, etc. It's also a very interesting flower. It's also a very interesting flower to include in a permanent flower meadow, as it reseeds naturally and, once established, will remain in place for many years!
