Lake Valley is another tried and true brand we carry here at the Flower Bin. Their company is out of Boulder. Keep it local! We have everything from cucumbers and peppers to poppies and forget-me-nots in the Lake Valley brand.

Another amazing line of seeds we carry is Beauty Beyond Belief.  We are stocked full of their native wildflower and mix seed packets!  We carry seeds of theirs that are perfect varieties for our niche climate (they too are a Boulder company).  This includes mixes such as; drought tolerant, deer resistant, butterflies and birds, shade, Rocky Mountain and Bee just to name a few!  There is nothing better than healthy, colorful wildflowers filling up your yard and attracting all sorts of pretty creatures!

So now that we have teased you with our tempting selection, you may be thinking…isn’t it too early to start seeds?  It is a little early to start most seeds, but here are a few ways to have your first seed-starting run:

SPROUTS!  We have a large variety of sprouts that can be planted indoors, so you do not have to wait until spring has sprung to get some seedlings in your life.  We have many options from alfalfa greens, sandwich mixes and several different types of micro greens.  This is a perfect way to not only get some homegrown nutrition in your diet, but also determine if you are ready for the main planting season.  Do I have enough seedling soil mix?  Do I have trays and jiffy plugs?  Could I maybe use a grow light?  This way you will be prepared and full of fresh greens at the same time.




 

POPPIES!  Come June many yards in this region are blossoming with beautiful and colorful poppies.  Don’t wait to see them in your neighbor’s yard before you add them to your selection!  Get a jump start and plant poppy seeds NOW!  This is the time to start poppies, so get them going to have some gorgeous June color.

Well, that is just a brief view of all of the seeds that have arrived, stop by, pick some up and get some expert planting advice.  You can even join our free Seed Starting class with Ryan Schmitt who is a former employee, now horticulturalist with Botanical Interests.   Call or stop in to sign up for the class that will be held February 16^th at 2:00pm.
