Shipping issues and wrong addresses

In the event that the post office or other shipping companies lose your package in transit, please contact me and I'll do everything in my power to assist you. However, there has been a growing issue across all online businesses with customers providing incorrect addresses. This error is usually due to using auto-fill features in browsers and defaulting to old addresses. If you notice the mistake, please contact us as soon as possible and hopefully it can be caught before the order is shipped. Once it is shipped, it is out of our hands and we can not be held responsible for the mistake. There is a $3.50 charge to have it reshipped.

Custom and personalized orders

In general, I pride myself on getting orders out the day of the order. Large orders and orders during peak times may take 2-3 days to fill and process the order.

Do seeds come with growing instructions?

Yes, every order we fill has growing instructions on the label. These instructions are brief since room is limited on the labels. If you need more detailed instructions, please see the listing and there's a wealth of information on the internet. Also, don't hesitate to contact me. I'm always here to help.

50 Marshmallow seeds

Every herb garden needs to have this versatile perennial! It is highly regarded as a beneficial medicinal herb and has been widely used for the last 2000 years in both foods and in medicines. It is native to Europe but can be found growing in many places around the world. It is easy to grow from Marsh Mallow seeds, and it also makes a lovely flowering display as well as having therapeutic benefits. It is a branching plant that reaches 36 to 48 inches in height. The stems are slightly wooly and the leaves are soft and downy. The flowers reach 2 inches across, have 5 petals and range in color from white to reddish-white. Hummingbirds enjoy their sweet nectar. Both the roots and the leaves have a slimy substance called mucilage. When the mucilage is mixed with water, it creates a viscous gel that coats and sooths irritated mucous membranes. It is used for coughs, colds, sore throats, stomach and intestinal conditions. It is also very beneficial when applied to skin abrasions or insect bites. The Marshmallow root is yellow-white and sweet. It is similar in taste to a parsnip. The roots can be harvested in the fall for drying. The history of our modern day sugary marshmallow goes back to this herb plant. The gummy substance, mucilage, was actually the thickening ingredient in a dessert made from egg whites.
