Variety Overview
5 INCREDIBLE PERMA VEGGIES JUST FOR YOU!
PERMA TOMATO - Wild Everglades
In looking for the ideal Perma Tomato, we found it in the most unlikely of places - the Florida Everglades. This tenacious little tomato doesn’t just grow, it thrives, perennializing and playfully reseeding in gardens year after year. What it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in flavor and quantity. A single plant will give you hundreds of beautiful tomatoes. And best of all, it’s considered the most nutritious tomato in the world, having the most lycopene of any variety tested. (Solanum pimpinellifolium)
PERMA SCALLIONS - Welsh Onions
Effortless green onions all season long! The Welsh onion is a delicious and easy-to-grow perennial alternative to green onions. Not only will they give you delicious oniony flavor for most of the year, but they also generously divide and spread, giving you more plants every year. Welsh onion utilizes the fresh green leaves for its wonderful flavor allowing the roots or bulb that typically are eaten to live. (Allium fistulosum)
PERMA GARLIC - Garlic Chives
Year-round garlic flavor without all the fuss...what's not to love? Garlic chives are a beautiful, simple to grow plant that will give you garlic flavor all year long. Harvest the green tops and use as you would garlic in any dish. (Allium tuberosum)
PERMA CARROTS - Skirret
Imagine a perennial root that tastes like the sweetest carrot you've ever eaten ... this is SKIRRET! Skirret literally means "sugar root". Skirret is our answer to the question, "how can I have an endless supply of carrot flavor without all of the hassle and work of planting carrots every year?" Skirret has captured our hearts and has earned not 1, but 2 full beds in our garden because it's so easy, so yummy, and so prolific. (Sium sisarum)
PERMA ARUGULA - Wild Rocket
All the spicy flavor you love, with so little work. This perennial arugula just keeps giving and giving throughout most of the year. It's super easy to grow and gives a more delicious, nutty, spicy kick than its annual cousin. It's called Wild Rocket in Europe and its flavor is off the charts! (Diplotaxis tenuifolia)
