Seeds

Comfrey is popular for medicinal use, natural fertilizer, and permaculture use. It grows rapidly and easily from root cuttings. These are Naturally Grown at our nursery. These are a non-seed producing, non-spreading strain of comfrey (Bocking 14.) It won’t spread via seeds but stays in place, expanding slowly as a tidy clump of plants with huge leaves and all the soil and fertility benefits comfrey brings.  We have tested it for years- it really does increase soil organic matter and improve soil tilth around fruit trees and other plantings.

Very easy to grow, simply cut the roots into approximately 3-4 inches long cuttings and start them in small plastic pots in potting soil and then transplant later. They take about 2-3 weeks to sprout above ground, sometimes longer. Once started, they grow very rapidly. See our comfrey listing for more information about comfrey.

18 inches of Naturally Grown comfrey root cuttings. These are living, viable plant roots to be planted and not plants.  The size of the roots will vary but all will be viable and ready to plant and will produce plants. Sold for planting purposes only.

LSU Celeste Fig Tree - Naturally Grown

1 lb

FREE SHIPPING! Our favorite hardy fig!  Most cold hardy fig generally available. Excellent quality, medium-large, velvety soft, dark purple figs have very sweet, rich, thick strawberry pink pulp and very thin edible skin. Just delicious! Fast growing and very, very productive!

Discovered in Chicago, Illinois by Fred Borne, growing in an urban location in the 1970s. Very cold hardy. When left unprotected in colder winter areas (zones 5 and 6), this fig will almost always die back to the ground, only to sprout back from the roots in spring and produce figs that ripen in late summer! Unlike most other figs it does not need 1-Year old or older growth to fruit. This is very rare and useful for people wanting to grow figs in KY, IN, IL, OH, NY, etc.  In warmer areas such as MS, GA, LA, (or in colder areas under protection in the winter), it thrives and does exceptionally well, even in the extreme humidity and heat of the Gulf. One Gulf Mississippi grower told us it's one of his best figs of all (Carriere, MS).  Without winter protection in zones 6-7 it usually will die back to the ground, or very close to the ground.

NATURALLY GROWN - no synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, fungicides, neo-nictinoids, or other pesticides or toxic ag chemicals used at our nursery 

Site requirements: Full sun location. Figs will grow in a range of soil types provided the planting location is well drained. Protected locations, such as on the South, East or West side of a building is ideal.

Size at maturity: 8-15', depending on location, climate and care.

Pollination: This fig requires no pollination in order to set fruit. Fruits are seedless.

Resistant to: Cold winter temps. Also resistant to fungus, rots, and fig rust on leaves. Figs are known for remarkable disease and insect resistance. Ants can get interested in figs and heavy rains can make the current ripe figs rot, so keep well-picked. Figs continue to put on new fruit constantly until frost.

Hardiness: USDA zones 7-10. Winter protection in zone 6-7 recommended.

Plant size: 1-2' tall 'MEDIUM'

Chicago Hardy Fig Tree - Naturally Grown

Hardy passionfruit (Passiflora incarnata) from our superior line of large, tasty fruit producers.  Our superior passionfruit seeds are untreated, cold-stratified and require no special treatments (ready to GROW!). Grown in Kentucky, zone 6. 

Passionfruit vines, being hardy natives, are highly resistant to insects or disease, and our special strain is quite productive of delicious fruits. The vines grow vigorously and will soon rapidly climb and create a stunning ornamental cover for arbors, fences, decks, etc, making a wonderful natural screen and shade. The flowers begin to come on around July-August and are just stunning.

One vine typically produces about 15-20 fruits per season, ripening from September-November.  Ripe fruits always drop.  They'll keep in the fridge about 1 month. The vines and leaves are a potent natural relaxant and sleep aid and sold in the health food industry for that use.  Plant vines 3-4 feet apart early in the season, right after all danger of frost. Very winter hardy once established. By mid autumn the upper vine portion dies back to the ground. The following spring it will resprout from the roots, vine out, flower and fruit again, thus it is a PERENNIAL. In Zones 9-10 may become a permanent woody vine. Will often flower and fruit the same year of planting if planted in spring. These Passiflora incarnata seeds are derived from superior fruiting vines of excellent quality, size and flavor and represent much better than average genetics. 

NATURALLY GROWN Seed grown at Peaceful Heritage Nursery with zero synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.  Our vines at the farm host native butterfly species that would not exist without them. 

No scarification or treatments required: simply plant as you would tomato seeds, either indoors or direct into well-worked garden soil after all danger of frost. 

Resistant to: Highly resistant to insects and disease in general. Watch out for Japanese beetles, which can sometimes eat the flowers.

Pollination: Self-Pollinating

Fresh 2025 pawpaw (Asimina triloba) seed collected in Kentucky.  This seed is from 'common grade,'  orchard-grown pawpaw trees that are healthy and productive, with a wide range of cold hardy genetics.  It will produce sweet, edible fruit, and is also ideal for reforestation, ZSB butterfly propagation, wildlife use, and pawpaws intended to be used for rootstock for grafting scions onto. We also sell scions for many rare and superior pawpaw cultivars. 

We ship pawpaw seeds when safe to do so, as pawpaw seed should not freeze solid.  Our seed is always kept moist, and is undergoing cold stratification in winter 2025-26. 

We offer: 
15 count seed Packets &
1/2 LB which is approximately 100-125 seeds

Our seed is UNTREATED with synthetic chemicals. 

We recommend planting 1 inch deep in seedling containers in rich potting soil first and then planting these in the field or yard. Seedling trees must be grown in shade until 30 inches tall (year 2 or 3) and not in full sun and must never dry out. If grown in pots, the pots must never freeze solid and should stay moist.  You can direct seed, however germination rates will depend on soil conditions, skill of the planters, soil moisture levels, etc.  These trees are very resilient and form multi-trunk thickets if allowed to sucker.  We mail you a link to full planting instructions with your order!
