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 CUCUMBER - Cucalmelon
Meet the Cucamelon, our delightful PERMA CUCUMBER – a tiny but mighty fruit that resembles a miniature watermelon with the taste of a cucumber and a hint of lime. This vining plant is not just a conversation starter for its charming appearance but also a resilient grower, offering a continuous crop of crunchy fruits throughout the summer. Perfect for snacking, pickling, or adding a zesty twist to salads, Cucamelons are a novelty in the garden and a joy on the plate. ( Melothria scabra)
PERMA GREENS - Brassica Buffet
his is the perfect perennial kale & collard mix for those looking for something unexpected! A Perma Gardens Exclusive. Each year we grow out hundreds of perennial kales and collards from seeds we collect from around the world in addition to our homestead favorites. Throughout the growing season, we select for delicious taste, pest resistance, drought tolerance, ease of growth, and beauty. We let only the most amazing plants go to seed and collect these seeds for the next year's trials. In this mix you'll receive the very same seed mix that we will be planting in our garden next season. We call it a buffet because it's a sampling of the best we've got. Get 'em now because when they're out for the season, they're out for good. :) (Brassica oleracea)
