Garden angelica

Angelica archangelica

Sow fresh seed immediately after harvest or purchase in autumn, pressing 1/4 in deep into moist soil; stored or old seed germinates poorly. Angelica is a short-lived perennial or biennial that requires deep, rich, moisture-retentive soil and partial shade — its ideal habitat is moist woodland edge.

Garden burnet

Sanguisorba minor

Also known by the scientific name Poterium sanguisorba. Sanguisorba minor, Salad Burnet is a versatile herb with a refreshing flavour, often described as cucumber-like. Young leaves and shoots are eaten raw or cooked and are best harvested before the plant flowers to maintain their mild taste. They are added to salads, used as a garnish, or incorporated into soups, cooling drinks, and claret cups. While the leaves can become bitter in hot, dry summers, they are typically mild during winter. The

Garden candytuft

Iberis umbellata

Sow annual candytuft directly in early spring, making successive sowings every few weeks for a long season of bloom. The flat clusters of white, pink, and purple flowers are fragrant and attract bees and butterflies. Grow in full sun and average well-drained soil, thinning seedlings to prevent crowd

Garden coreopsis

Coreopsis lanceolata

This native perennial coreopsis produces masses of golden-yellow, daisy-like flowers above slender, lance-shaped foliage. Press seeds into the soil surface in spring since light helps them germinate, and keep the bed moist until seedlings establish. It thrives in full sun and lean, well-drained soil

Garden cosmos

Cosmos bipinnatus

'Apricotta' is an award-winning cosmos with soft apricot-pink blooms centered in yellow on tall, sturdy stems ideal for cutting. Direct sow after the last frost, or start indoors about a month early, barely covering the seed. Grow in full sun in average to lean soil, as rich ground produces foliage

Garden cress

Lepidium sativum

Sow curled cress seed dry and densely on a moist tray, since it forms a gel coat that makes presoaking impractical. It germinates almost overnight, so uncover early and give it bright light to keep growth compact. Mist frequently to keep the fine seedlings hydrated without drowning them. Snip the fa

Garden currant

Ribes rubrum

Red currants fruit heavily on spurs of wood two years old and older; prune each late winter to keep 8–12 canes of mixed ages and remove any cane older than 5 years. They tolerate more shade than most fruits and appreciate afternoon shelter in hot climates. Harvest entire strigs (clusters) when berri

Garden dill

Anethum graveolens

Direct sow seed where the plants are to grow, since dill has a taproot and resents being transplanted; make succession sowings for a steady supply. This variety is especially good for pickling thanks to its early, abundant seed heads, while the aromatic foliage is delicious on potatoes, fish, and ve

Garden forget-me-not

Myosotis sylvatica

Scatter seeds on the soil surface or barely cover them; they germinate best in cool conditions and seedlings overwinter as low rosettes in mild climates. Forget-me-nots self-sow prolifically once established — let plants go to seed, then pull them after flowering to control spread. The sky-blue flow

Garden lady's-mantle

Alchemilla mollis

Cold-stratify seed in the refrigerator for 3–4 weeks before surface-sowing; the tiny seeds need cool temperatures and moderate moisture to germinate. Plant in humus-rich, well-drained but moisture-retentive soil; lady's mantle tolerates full sun in cooler climates but benefits from afternoon shade i

Garden lettuce

Lactuca sativa

This adaptable heirloom lettuce forms crisp, mild green heads and resists bolting better than most, letting you harvest across spring, summer, and fall. Sow seed shallowly, barely covering it, since light aids germination, and thin plants to 8-12 inches for full heads. Succession-sow every two to th

Garden lobelia

Lobelia erinus

Start the very fine seed indoors well ahead of the last frost, pressing it onto the surface since it needs light to germinate. Cambridge Blue offers soft light-blue flowers that smother the pale foliage from spring to fall, ideal for baskets, window boxes, and edging. Keep the soil evenly moist and

Garden lovage

Levisticum officinale

Sow fresh seed 1/4 in deep in moist, fertile soil in early spring; stored seed loses viability quickly. Give lovage a permanent spot as it develops a large taproot that dislikes disturbance, and provide deep, moisture-retentive, fertile soil. Remove flower stalks as they appear to keep the plant pro

Garden myrrh

Myrrhis odorata

Sow fresh seed immediately — it loses viability rapidly and requires a sustained cold period to germinate; autumn sowing directly in the garden is the most reliable approach. Plant in deep, fertile, moist soil in partial to full shade, where it will naturalize into a handsome long-lived clump. All p

Garden nasturtium

Tropaeolum majus

'Alaska' nasturtium stands out for its cream-and-green marbled foliage that stays showy even between the bright, edible flowers. Direct sow the large seeds where they are to grow, as nasturtiums dislike having their roots disturbed. Grow in full sun to part shade in lean soil, since overly rich grou

Garden orache

Atriplex hortensis

Press seeds firmly into soil no deeper than 1/4 inch; germination is improved by pre-soaking seeds for a few hours before sowing. Orach grows quickly into an upright plant with red, gold, or green leaves that can substitute for spinach in any cooked preparation. Pinch the central growing tip when th

Garden parsley

Petroselinum crispum

Curly parsley is a hardy biennial grown as an annual for its bright green, frilled leaves used as garnish and seasoning. Germination is slow, so soak seed overnight and keep the soil consistently moist. Harvest outer stems first and the plant will keep producing from the center. In milder zones it o

Garden phlox

Phlox paniculata

Plant in moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil with good air circulation to reduce powdery mildew, which is the plant's main problem. Thin stems to 5–7 per clump in spring to improve airflow and produce larger flower trusses on the remaining stems. Deadhead the central flower cluster as it fades to e

Garden rhubarb

Rheum rhabarbarum

Start Victoria rhubarb seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before setting plants into a permanent, fertile bed spaced 3 to 4 feet apart. This cold-hardy heirloom perennial develops deep crimson-tinged stalks with a rich sweet-tart flavor and returns for many years. Do not harvest the first year and take onl

Garden shadblow

Amelanchier spicata

Garden sorrel

Rumex acetosa

A hardy perennial green whose lemony, tangy leaves brighten salads, soups, and sauces in the French tradition. Sow seed directly a quarter inch deep and thin plants to eight to twelve inches apart. Harvest young spring leaves for the mildest flavor, cutting outer leaves so the plant keeps producing.
