Its natural range includes moist meadows, floodplains, woodland edges and extensively grazed pastures in temperate climates. Early on it was valued as a refreshing spring herb whose lemony‑sour leaves provided important vitamins after winter. Botanically, it belongs to the knotweed family (Polygonaceae), subfamily Polygonoideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eRumex\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe earliest known mention of sorrel appears around 812 AD in the \u003cem\u003eCapitulare de villis\u003c\/em\u003e, a Carolingian estate ordinance listing it as a useful kitchen herb for monastic and manor gardens. In the 12th century, Hildegard of Bingen described sorrel as a cooling, cleansing herb that “clarifies the body’s juices”. Renaissance herbals, including the \u003cem\u003eNew Kreüterbuch\u003c\/em\u003e of 1543, refer to it as a refreshing leafy vegetable and a component of spring soups, appreciated for its invigorating qualities and high vitamin C content.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn European folk cuisine, sorrel served for centuries as an important spring vegetable, especially in regions with long winters. In France it became a staple of classical cooking, particularly in the traditional \u003cem\u003esoupe à l’oseille\u003c\/em\u003e. In folk medicine it was used as a mild digestive herb, a cooling remedy for sensations of heat and as an ingredient in herbal teas. Its leaves were incorporated into spring tonics, herbal pastes and strengthening soups, while the root was occasionally used for extracts and tinctures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the rise of naturalistic gardening and self‑sufficiency in the 20th century, sorrel regained importance.

Young leaves are especially tender and aromatic, while older ones are ideal for steaming or puréeing. In traditional cuisine it is used for creamy sorrel soups, herb fillings, fish dishes and fresh herb pastes. The leaves dry or freeze well and retain their flavour. Sorrel also refines herb oils, vinegars and light marinades, works wonderfully in cold summer sauces, herb quark and fresh spreads, and adds a fine lemony freshness to vegetable sautés, risottos and stews.

The plant is easy to care for, regenerates quickly and provides fresh leafy greens over many months. It supports biodiversity, pairs well with other wild and cultivated plants and is excellent for ecological self‑sufficiency. It also thrives reliably in large containers, producing aromatic leaves for years. Sorrel is among the first fresh leafy vegetables of the year, sprouting very early in spring and often remaining evergreen in mild winters.

All parts of the plant — leaves, flowers, and stems — are edible and enrich the diet with variety and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its exceptional winter hardiness and adaptability, the variety grows reliably outdoors, in greenhouses, and especially in pots. It ripens quickly and can be harvested continuously — even in the depths of winter. In addition, it is easy to care for, shows good adaptability to semi-shaded to shaded locations, and delivers stable yields even at cool temperatures. \u003cspan\u003eMiner’s lettuce\u003c\/span\u003e prefers a cooler, moist climate and can also be used as green manure. The crop is extremely undemanding, requires little care, and is resistant to most typical leaf diseases. It is excellent for mixed cultivation, as it hardly suppresses other plants and protects the soil from drying out with its dense leaf cover. As an early spring vegetable, it reliably provides fresh leaves when other crops are not yet available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompared to other winter salads, \u003cspan\u003eMiner’s lettuce\u003c\/span\u003e is exceptionally winter-hardy, fast-growing, and rich in vitamins — ideal for people who appreciate open-pollinated salad varieties with historical significance and year-round harvesting potential.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/tc\u003e","brand":"Benjis Seeds","offers":[{"title":"0.6g - 1000 seeds","offer_id":44013817790783,"sku":"","price":3.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/benjis-seeds-claytonia-perfoliata-winter-purslane-miner-s-lettuce-product-seeds-01.webp?v=1785287091"},{"product_id":"crimson-clover","title":"Crimson Clover - Incarnate Clover [Trifolium incarnatum]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe biennial crimson clover is a wild forage and green manure plant that is suitable for cut flowers and also for seed production for sprouts and microgreens.

This undemanding clover species originates from southern Europe and the western Mediterranean and can now be found growing wild in meadows, pastures, and along roadsides worldwide. In agriculture, crimson clover is primarily cultivated as an animal fodder plant and as a summer and winter cover crop. Due to its ability to fix nitrogen, protect against erosion, and improve soil structure and fertility, this plant is often used in winter cover crops and as a green manure. The fast-growing plant is ideal for promoting biodiversity, providing high biomass, suppressing weeds, and stabilizing the soil through the deep penetration of its roots. Since it is related to only a few native vegetable species, it integrates easily into crop rotations. The leaves and flowers are edible and can be used in the kitchen as sprouts or microgreens in salads, or as edible garnish. They have a mild, slightly nutty flavor and are rich in nutrients. Clover is an excellent bee pasture, providing flower-rich sources of nectar that attract numerous insects such as honeybees and bumblebees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e25g is sufficient for approx. 5 m²\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99; color: #000000;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"color: #1f2124\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eGeneral information\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fabaceae\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Biennial\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDays to harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 days\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant height approx.:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoot type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep rooter\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNutrient requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWinter hardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to -5°C\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sunny\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Permeable, humus-rich loamy soil\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 to 8\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cu\u003eSowing and planting information\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermination type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light germinator\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSowing depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0-0.5 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOptimal germination temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-20 °C\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermination time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7-20 days\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant and row spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20x20 cm\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination ability of seeds:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2-3\u0026nbsp;years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eMixed culture\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimal mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corn, Grain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnfavorable mixed culture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bean, Pea\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline\"\u003e\u003cu\u003eSowing by climate zone\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #e4cc99;\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSubtropic climate (Mediterranean) (e. g.

This places 'Bijella Verão' in a clear lineage of proven varieties, refined through careful breeding to create a new, climate‑adapted type.

By the early 20th century the variety was documented under its present name. It originated through peasant selection and was preserved as a decorative, bolt‑resistant Romaine lettuce with its characteristic speckling. The name “Forellenschluss” refers to the reddish‑brown spots on the leaves, reminiscent of a trout’s markings. While such leaf patterns were often considered a flaw and bred out over time, 'Forellenschluss' remained one of the exceptions and developed into a valued specialty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Austria the variety spread into Central Europe and by the early 20th century also reached North America, where it became known as “Trout Back” or “Freckles.” Its striking leaf pattern and robust, bolt‑resistant nature made it a popular heirloom variety that is still cultivated in gardens today. 'Forellenschluss' is regarded as a symbol of conserving historic cultivated varieties and is preserved as an open‑pollinated alternative to modern hybrids.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows upright and forms semi‑open heads reaching about 30 cm in height.

They harmonize beautifully with fresh herbs, citrus dressings, and light vinaigrettes, and also work well as a base for summer grill platters, providing a crunchy bed for meat or vegetables. In modern cuisine they are used in smoothies and green juices, while traditionally they were valued as a vitamin‑rich addition to soups or stews.

It shows remarkable adaptability to different soil types and climatic conditions, making it reliable even in regions with variable weather. Its good heat tolerance makes it less prone to premature bolting in subtropical summers.

Its natural range includes moist meadows, stream banks, light woodlands and extensively managed grasslands in temperate climates. Early on it was valued as a mild, refreshing spring herb whose red‑veined leaves stood out not only for their flavour but also for their striking appearance. Botanically, it belongs to the knotweed family (Polygonaceae), subfamily Polygonoideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eRumex\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe earliest known mention of red‑veined dock appears in 1588 in Jacques Daléchamps’ \u003cem\u003eHistoria Generalis Plantarum\u003c\/em\u003e, where \u003cem\u003eRumex sanguineus\u003c\/em\u003e is described as a distinct wild plant with its characteristic red‑veined foliage. In the following centuries it appears in additional European herbals, including English and Dutch works of the 17th century, where it is listed as “red‑veined sorrel” or “roodaderzuring”. These early sources highlight both its ornamental qualities and its milder, pleasantly sour taste, which distinguishes it from other sorrel species.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn folk cuisine, red‑veined dock was primarily used as a tender spring herb, adding a fine acidity to soups, herbal porridges and fresh herb mixtures. In some regions its red‑veined leaves were seen as a symbol of vitality and were traditionally included in spring tonics. In traditional herbal practice it served as a mild digestive herb, a cooling plant for sensations of heat and as an ingredient in simple herbal teas. In Eastern European and Caucasian regions it was occasionally used to support blood purification and as a mineral‑rich early‑season green.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the rise of naturalistic gardening and the renewed appreciation of native wild plants in the 20th century, red‑veined dock gained fresh significance. It became valued not only as a useful edible but also as a decorative perennial combining ornamental and culinary qualities. Today it is considered an important wild perennial for ecological gardens — robust, long‑lived and harvestable early in the year. Its decorative appearance, high tolerance to frequent cutting and mild, pleasantly sour flavour make it a versatile and tradition‑rich culinary herb.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e  Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eplant \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eperennial \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eclump‑forming, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edeveloping \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edense \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erosette \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eof \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eelongated, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ered‑veined \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eleaves. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003espring \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eit \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eproduces \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eupright, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ereddish‑green \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflower \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003estalks. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRed‑veined \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esorrel \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eforms \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshallow \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emoderately \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edeep \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eroot \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esystem \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewinter‑hardy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edown \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eabout \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e–15 °C.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Medium, 30–50 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbaceous, rosette‑shaped, clump‑forming, with upright flowering stems\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elongated, green with striking red veins, 15–25 cm long\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reddish‑green, loosely paniculate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mildly sour, fresh, lightly lemony\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"91\" width=\"75\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Usage_Cultivation_Highlights_-_Verwendung_Anbau-Higlights_-_Utilizacao_e_Destaques_do_Cultivo_-_www.benjis.net_2f09de09-588a-47b6-ae70-802633c65d50.jpg?v=1763065990\" \u003e  Usage \u0026amp; Cultivation Highlights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRed‑veined dock is excellent for salads, herb butter, pestos, soups, sauces, smoothies and fresh spring dishes. Young leaves are especially tender, while older ones are ideal for steaming or puréeing. In modern cuisine it is used in herb blends, green sauces, light vegetable dishes and as a decorative element on plates. The leaves freeze well or can be gently dried, retaining part of their aroma. Red‑veined sorrel also enhances herb oils, vinegars, marinades, herb quark and spreads, and adds a clear, refreshing note to drinks such as herbal lemonades or green juices. Dried leaves are suitable for tea blends, while finely chopped sorrel enriches herb salts, spice mixes and light fillings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the garden, red‑veined dock impresses with its robustness, vitality and high tolerance to frequent cutting. It grows reliably in beds, herb spirals, natural gardens and moist locations. Its clump‑forming growth ensures strong regeneration after each harvest, and it remains vigorous even in partial shade. The plant is easy to care for, regenerates quickly and provides fresh leafy greens over many months. It supports biodiversity, pairs well with other wild and cultivated plants and is ideal for ecological self‑sufficiency. It also thrives reliably in larger containers, producing aromatic leaves for years. Red‑veined sorrel is among the first fresh leafy vegetables of the year, sprouting very early in spring and remaining partially evergreen in mild winters. It is largely disease‑resistant, copes well with fluctuating rainfall and stabilises the soil with its root system.

This robust plant is native to the arid regions of Central and North America and is found in rocky hills, prairies, open woodlands, and scree fields. Centuries ago, the Sioux Indians in America successfully used coneflower sap to treat wounds. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this hardy plant gained greater importance among many physicians for treating conditions ranging from snakebites to syphilis. Today, the species is an integral part of herbal medicine and continues to play a significant role in medicinal plant cultivation. As a traditional herbal medicinal product, the medicinal plant is firmly integrated into phytopharmaceuticals in Europe. The roots of this sun-loving plant have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties and are used for the supportive treatment and prevention of recurring upper respiratory tract infections, such as the common cold. Unlike other Echinacea species, the petals are noticeably narrower, longer, and usually curved sharply downward. Unlike 'Echinacea purpurea,' the Light Purple Coneflower has a more upright growth habit.

There, mustard greens have been cultivated for centuries both as an oil plant (mustard oil from the seeds) and as a leafy vegetable, forming a central part of Asian food culture. The species Brassica juncea belongs to the family Brassicaceae and is closely related to other Asian brassicas such as Mizuna, Tatsoi, or Pak Choi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe variety Moutarde Rouge Metis itself was developed as a targeted selection in France in the late 20th century (1980s). It was introduced to the European market with the aim of creating a decorative, open-pollinated mustard green variety with a medium-spicy, aromatic flavor. Thus, it is based on the traditional plant form of mustard greens but represents a modern advancement with a special focus on appearance and taste. Today, Moutarde Rouge Metis is maintained, propagated, and preserved as a freely accessible, open-pollinated variety by organic seed initiatives. It is considered a valuable addition to the diversity of Asian greens and contributes to safeguarding the genetic breadth of Brassica juncea in organic vegetable cultivation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plant grows upright and reaches a height of about 50 cm.

As a close relative of Chinese cabbage (\u003cem\u003eBrassica rapa subsp. pekinensis\u003c\/em\u003e), it belongs to the oldest cultivated leafy vegetables of Asia. Already in early Chinese sources the plant is mentioned as “Bái Cài” (白菜, “white vegetable”) and was an important part of regional nutrition. Over centuries, the variety was further developed through selection and adaptation and cultivated in different regions of China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong the Silk Road, ‘Pak Choi’ spread to Central Asia and later to Korea and Japan, where it also became part of traditional cuisine.

In the 19th century, ‘Pak Choi’ reached North America and Europe through Chinese immigrants, where it was initially cultivated in Asian communities.

Today, red‑flowered forms of broad bean have become rare, although they have been documented since the 19th century and were continuously maintained within small‑scale farming preservation systems. The variety is open‑pollinated, true‑to‑seed and shaped by regional selection as well as adaptation to different garden soils. Botanically, it belongs to the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae, genus \u003cem\u003eVicia\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first mention of ‘Crimsonia’ dates back to 1907, when it was described in the British publication \u003cem\u003e“The Gardeners’ Chronicle”\u003c\/em\u003e as a \u003cem\u003e“crimson‑flowered broad bean with richly coloured blossoms”\u003c\/em\u003e. In traditional gardens, the variety was valued for its striking flower colour, its early flowering habit and its reliable yields. Even under variable weather conditions it produces consistently and can be used both as a fresh bean and as a dry bean. Its pronounced cold tolerance made it one of the most reliable broad beans for regions with cool springs, establishing it as a preferred home‑garden variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver generations, ‘Crimsonia’ was cultivated in smallholder kitchen gardens, where it was appreciated for its robust nature, good standability and ability to thrive even in less‑than‑ideal soils. Its decorative blossoms, mild nutty flavour and yield reliability made it a staple in mixed plantings and self‑sufficiency gardens. To this day, ‘Crimsonia’ is grown for its combination of ornamental value, culinary quality and agronomic reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Crimsonia’ is annual and herbaceous, forming upright, bushy plants with sturdy, angular stems and medium‑green foliage.

History\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Gniff’ is an open‑pollinated landrace from Switzerland, originating in the canton of Ticino. Documented since the 19th century, it belongs to the historical purple‑and‑white carrot types of the region. Botanically, it is part of the family Apiaceae, the subfamily Apioideae, and the genus \u003cem\u003eDaucus\u003c\/em\u003e within the species \u003cem\u003eDaucus carota\u003c\/em\u003e. Over many generations, it was cultivated in the mountain areas of Ticino and is considered the only indigenous purple‑and‑white carrot of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name ‘Gniff’ comes from the Ticinese dialect and referred, depending on the area, either to carrots in general or specifically to this purple form. The variety was widespread in several valleys and was sold on local markets until the 20th century. Its dark‑purple exterior and white interior reflect old European carrot types that were common before orange varieties became widespread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Gniff’ was valued for its good storability and its combination of mildly sweet and subtly spicy flavors. Traditionally, it was cooked, peeled and preserved in vinegar or oil with herbs – a typical preparation in the mountain regions of Ticino. To this day, the variety is cultivated and preserved due to its regional importance, genetic distinctiveness and striking appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg height=\"119\" width=\"59\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Appearance_Characteristics_-_Aussehen_Merkmale_-_Aparencia_Caracteristicas_-_www.benjis.net.jpg?v=1763065935\" \u003e   Appearance \u0026amp; Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efirst \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eyear, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eplants \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eform \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ea \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003evigorous \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eleaf \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erosette \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewith \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efoliage \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ereaching \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eabout \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e30–40 cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elength. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eroots \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eare \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edark \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epurple \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eon \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eoutside, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewhite \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eon \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003einside, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003econical, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etypically \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10–15 cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elong. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecooked, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epurple \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecolor \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efades \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eslightly. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003evariety \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003esensitive \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eexcessive \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003emoisture \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efrost‑hardy \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edown \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e–6 °C.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoot details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Medium, with roots 10–15 cm long\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Conical, compact\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark purple on the outside, white on the inside\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Firm, juicy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aromatic, slightly spicy, subtly sweet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"western\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/Usage_Cultivation_Highlights_-_Verwendung_Anbau-Higlights_-_Utilizacao_e_Destaques_do_Cultivo_-_www.benjis.net_2f09de09-588a-47b6-ae70-802633c65d50.jpg?v=1763065990\" alt=\"\" width=\"75\" height=\"91\" \u003e  Usage \u0026amp; Cultivation Highlights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roots of ‘Gniff’ are well suited for cooked and steamed dishes and were traditionally boiled, peeled, sliced, and preserved in vinegar or olive oil with garlic and parsley.

With its less sweet, slightly spicy flavor, the variety is particularly suitable for hearty preparations such as braised dishes, strong broths, and rustic vegetable pans. Finely grated, it serves as a base for savory patties, fillings, or spreads. Cut into thin strips, it works well for roasted vegetables, sautéed side dishes, or as a colorful element in salads, though it is used more sparingly when raw. It also performs well when pickled, turned into chutneys, or used as an aromatic component in winter stews.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Gniff’ is a slow‑growing storage carrot that delivers reliable yields in open‑field cultivation. The variety matures late and forms short, well‑shaped roots. It shows good tolerance to cooler weather phases. Thanks to its strong root system, it is comparatively drought‑resistant. The variety is slow to bolt, shows good foliage health, and is well suited for organic farming and mixed cropping. Its compact growth habit allows for easy hoeing and maintenance, and its uniform development ensures a stable stand. Even at higher altitudes, it forms roots reliably and remains remarkably consistent in shape and color.

Its original range covers nearly all of Europe, the Mediterranean region, and parts of Western Asia, where it primarily grows in open meadows, along roadsides, and on extensively managed grasslands. Botanically, the species belongs to the family Asteraceae, the subfamily Asteroideae, and the genus Bellis. The name Bellis derives from the Latin bellus (“beautiful”), while perennis (“perennial”) refers to the long‑lived growth habit of the wild form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe earliest mention appears in the writings of Pliny the Elder in the 1st century AD, who described the daisy as a medicinal plant used for wounds and skin injuries. Dioscorides also included it in De materia medica, documenting its continuous medicinal use since antiquity. In medieval herbals, Bellis perennis is regularly listed as a remedy for bruises, swelling, and skin irritation, and it was cultivated in monastic gardens as a robust and easily accessible medicinal plant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOver the centuries, the wild form spread far beyond its original range through natural dispersal and human use.

Its anti-inflammatory compounds have long been used for skin issues, bruises, coughs, and digestive discomfort. Applied externally, it soothes irritated skin and supports wound healing. The flowers enhance salads, herb spreads, soups, smoothies, and wild herb blends. In herbal medicine, they are used to strengthen the immune system, support recovery from colds, and promote gentle detoxification. Fresh flowers serve as an aromatic ingredient in herb butter, pestos, and floral vinegars, while the buds are pickled as the “capers of the North.” In natural cosmetics, flower extracts form the basis of nourishing oils, salves, and washes. Syrups, honey infusions, herbal baths, and compresses traditionally support the respiratory system, skin regeneration, and metabolism, making the plant a versatile component of spring tonics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCommon daisy grows reliably outdoors and in containers. The plant is low-maintenance, winter-hardy, and can be harvested for many years. Its flowers attract numerous beneficial insects such as bees and bumblebees, supporting ecological balance in the garden. Thanks to its robust nature, it continues to thrive even in less-than-ideal soils, regenerates quickly after each cut, and allows multiple harvests. It forms long-lived clumps and is well suited for lawns, pathways, and naturalistic gardens. Overall, it shows strong tolerance to dry periods and fluctuating weather conditions. The wild form thrives in full sun or partial shade and performs well in nutrient-poor, compacted, or slightly acidic soils. It is resilient enough to withstand foot traffic in meadows and lawns and spreads reliably through short rhizomes and self-seeding without becoming invasive.

This robust and drought-tolerant wild plant is native to the dry highlands of California, Arizona, and Mexico, where it grows up to 2,000 meters in altitude. In nature, the herbaceous, upright plant occurs naturally along roadsides and in fields. It has been cultivated extensively since the beginning of the 19th century. Due to its special properties, it has proven itself as a green manure plant and is highly valued in organic gardening. In home gardens, it is often planted in dry perennial beds or rockeries alongside ornamental grasses and other annuals. Its dense root system enriches the soil organically, loosens it, and helps combat soil fatigue. It is not related to any native vegetable species, which makes it easy to integrate into crop rotation. Sowing green manure plants acts like a soil treatment, protecting the soil from drying out and crusting in winter. It also reliably suppresses weeds and can be used as a pre-crop for new lawns or to quickly green up fallow land. It is undemanding and grows in almost any soil. As a medicinal plant, the plant's flavonoids and other bioactive substances have anti-inflammatory properties and are consumed as a tea. It also has a calming effect and can be helpful in relieving stress and anxiety.

The dried shoots are used for incense, herb bundles and naturopathic preparations. In many regions of Europe it is considered a classic throat and voice herb and has been used for soothing herbal blends for centuries. Its yellow flowers are also suitable for natural decorations, herb wreaths and craft uses. As a wild perennial it is a valuable insect plant and supports biodiversity in the garden. In addition, agrimony is used for gargle solutions and herbal baths, as its mild tannins soothe skin and mucous membranes. In folk herbalism it serves as a gentle wash and poultice herb for stressed skin. The fresh or dried leaves can be processed into plant extracts and herbal wines, while the dried flower spikes are used in scented pillows and natural herb arrangements. The burr‑like fruits are also suitable for nature projects and wild plant courses that demonstrate the dispersal strategies of native plants.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAgrimony grows reliably outdoors, along paths, on poor meadows and in naturalistic gardens. The plant is easy to care for, winter hardy and can be harvested for many years. Its flowers attract numerous beneficial insects and strengthen ecological balance. Thanks to its deep taproot it continues to grow steadily even in dry, poor soils, regenerates well after each cut and can be harvested multiple times. It tolerates full sun and windy sites, remains vigorous even in heat and is well suited for ecological, low‑maintenance garden concepts. Agrimony also thrives in nutrient‑poor, stony and slightly compacted soils, shows high tolerance to fluctuating rainfall and stays vital even in dry summers. Its clump‑forming growth provides stability, while the fine leaf hairs reduce evaporation and increase drought resistance. Once established it requires little care, responds well to cutting, sprouts reliably again and supports a wide range of pollinators over many weeks due to its long flowering period.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompared to other wild herbs, common agrimony is a particularly versatile, gentle medicinal and tea plant with high cultural value – ideal for anyone who appreciates robust, perennial wild herbs with traditional uses and strong benefits for insects.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/tc\u003e","brand":"Benjis Seeds","offers":[{"title":"1g - 50 seeds","offer_id":44074577822015,"sku":"","price":2.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/7111\/3535\/files\/benjis-seeds-agrimonia-eupatoria-common-agrimony-product-seeds-01.webp?v=1785928177"},{"product_id":"common-comfrey","title":"Common Comfrey [Symphytum officinale]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe perennial comfrey is a versatile tea, fertilizer and medicinal plant with excellent properties for self-sufficiency.

In folk medicine and naturopathy, this hardy species has been firmly established and highly valued as a medicinal herb for centuries. In cooler parts of the temperate latitudes up to the subarctic of Scandinavia and Russia, the plants are often found growing wild, but they also thrive in warm climates. In the past, they were used in popular belief to ward off plague, poisons and magic. The robust and highly aromatic plants give off a sweet aromatic scent that attracts numerous pollinating insects. The taste is very spicy, somewhat sweet, slightly spicy and bitter. The leaves are mainly used as tea, bath additive or as a spice in mint sauces and mayonnaises. Stems can be candied and the dried roots are used as an additive for scented bowls. Valuable active ingredients can be extracted from the root to help with digestive disorders, for example, or with sleep and rheumatic complaints.

It belongs to the classic autumn and winter radishes that have been documented since the 19th century and passed down through generations.

Its distinctive blue‑violet skin, round‑to‑elongated, slightly oval shape, and suitability for late‑season cultivation made it a typical winter vegetable valued in many regions of Europe.
