🌱 What’s Inside the Collection:
🌶️ Cowhorn Pepper – 10+ seeds
A bold and spicy addition to any garden! Long, horn-shaped fruits deliver a flavorful punch that balances heat with rich complexity. These peppers can be used fresh in salsas and stir-fries, or dried and ground into seasoning blends. In Germany, hot peppers are often pickled or incorporated into sausage making, adding a warming bite to traditional fare. Easy to grow, productive, and beautiful in the garden.
🧄 German Garlic – 25+ cloves
Garlic has been at the heart of German cooking for generations, prized not only for its culinary uses but also for its natural health benefits. German garlic varieties are known for their robust flavor, long storage life, and hardiness in colder climates. Plant in fall for a summer harvest of large, aromatic bulbs perfect for roasts, stews, soups, and homemade garlic bread.
🍅 Riesenstraube Cherry Tomato – 20+ seeds
The name Riesenstraube translates to “giant bunch of grapes,” and that’s exactly what this tomato produces—large clusters of small, juicy, deep-red cherry tomatoes. Beloved by German gardeners for centuries, this heirloom variety is perfect for snacking fresh, tossing into salads, or cooking into rich sauces. Vigorous vines yield abundantly all season, making it one of the most reliable and flavorful cherry tomatoes you’ll ever grow.
🌼 German Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) – 250+ seeds
One of the most iconic German plants, chamomile is a must-have in every herb garden. Its small, daisy-like blooms have been used for centuries to brew calming teas, make soothing salves, and create aromatic sachets. Known as Apfelblümchen (“little apple blossom”) for its delicate scent, chamomile also supports pollinators and reseeds easily, ensuring blooms year after year. A beautiful plant with timeless uses.
🥬 Kohlrabi Purple (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes) – 50+ seeds
A true German garden classic! Kohlrabi, sometimes called the “German turnip,” forms crisp, juicy bulbs above the soil that can be eaten raw with salt, shredded into salads, roasted, or simmered into soups. The purple-skinned variety is particularly striking, with tender flesh and a slightly sweet, nutty taste. This cool-weather crop matures quickly, stores well, and is extremely versatile in the kitchen.
🥗 Savoy Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. sabauda) – 50+ seeds
Cabbage is at the heart of traditional German cuisine, and Savoy cabbage is one of the finest varieties. Its crinkled, tender leaves are perfect for stuffing, wrapping, or shredding into sauerkraut. Milder and more delicate than standard green cabbage, Savoy is beloved in hearty German dishes like rouladen and stews. A staple crop that rewards with large, beautiful heads and endless culinary possibilities.
🌱 Mâche (Feldsalat or Corn Salad – Valerianella locusta) – 200+ seeds
This humble salad green, known in Germany as Feldsalat, is a cool-weather delicacy. With its mild, nutty flavor and tender texture, mâche is one of the first greens to appear in early spring and can even overwinter in mild climates. A traditional favorite in German and Austrian kitchens, it’s often served with simple vinaigrettes, potatoes, or eggs. Easy to grow, cold-hardy, and nutrient-rich, this green brings gourmet flavor to your table.
