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 GREENS - Brassica Buffet
This 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)PERMA GREENS - Brassica Buffet
PERMA BEANS - Magic Runner Beans
If Jack really had a bag of magic beans, they would have been runner beans! Runner beans are our absolute favorite perennial bean. These beans are gorgeous, yummy, and climb to the sky with ease. We've collected rare runner bean varieties from around the world and have continued to select for perennial nature, amazing colors, and rich, savory taste. You'll receive a blend of colors from our collection and can enjoy the rich variety of colors of beans and blossoms. Once you taste our runner beans, you'll forget that any other bean ever existed. (Phaseolus coccineus)
