Common Plantain, Plantago major, grows up 12 inches tall when in full bloom but is a nice low growing green rosette and are easily grown from seeds. The young, tender leaves of the Common Plantain plant are edible, and can be used as a salad green or cooked and eaten like spinach. Plantain herb plants have historical medicinal use as a wound healer and today Plantain has been found to have scientific merit. It is also enjoyed by butterfly larvae and if allowed to seed, birds eat the dried seeds.

This is a curated collection of seeds I have found to grow well in Florida over the years. It is designed to take the overwhelm and thought process out of figuring out which varieties to select that will actually grow well here.
Some of the seed is saved from myself and other small local growers for harder to source varieties that you can't find online.
The majority of the seed varieties will come from dedicated seed supply companies like Working Food or Southern Exposure Seed Exchange to keep up with demand. We always prioritize localized seed sources which have a sustainable and equitable business model.
