At Baker Creek, we are always searching for exciting and beautiful new varieties to share.
Introducing our top 12 new seeds for 2020!
Number 12: Paradiso mix echinacea Invite this candy jar of echinacea blooms
into your garden and enjoy the riot of color that lasts over a long season.
This is also a powerful medicinal plant that studies show helps to boost the immune system.
Number 11: Cosmic Candy mix Black-eyed Susan This vine thrives in a variety of conditions
and produces blooms over a long season.
This mix introduces a lovely palette of new, tropical shades!
Number 10: Pink Dandelion From central Asia, this is the dandelion of
our dreams!
The bright pink-lemonade hued blooms will have butterflies, honeybees and other pollinators
buzzing around your flower patch.
The roots, leaves and blooms are edible, too!
Number 9: Orange hat tomato Our favorite new micro tomato, this 6-8 inch
tall variety is perfect for growing in small pots indoors or out, and it produces oodles
of sweet golden cherry tomatoes!
Number 8: Astronomy domine corn is the most shockingly beautiful sweet corn we have ever
grown, and perhaps the most nutrient dense, too!
A rainbow of jewel-tone shades develops early and make this sweet corn really stand out
on the dinner table.
As a plus, it’s robust and easy to grow, adapted for climates with a shorter growing
season.
Number 7: Bloody Mary mix Nasturtium This is a throwback to decorative nasturtiums
of the early 20th century, and one of the best salad plants we’ve tried!
These delicious sweet-spicy blooms brighten salads, and they are equally gorgeous in the
garden, with deep shades of crimson splashed across the petals.
Number 6: Japanese wasabi radish Wasabi fans will love this dazzling lime-green
daikon radish for its spicy, pungent flavor.
It’s a must have in the kitchen!
Number 5: Gold Coin sunflower (Mini Single) The compact plants and petite flower heads,
just 2 to 4 inches across, make this a top choice for bedding plants.
They’re a great choice for container planting, too — and pollinators love them!
Number 4: Uzbek golden carrot The lemon-yellow roots of this carrot from
central Asia have plenty of natural sugar, making them absolutely delectable for cooking
and fresh eating.
They grew crisp and sweet, even in the hot summer months in our Missouri greenhouse trials.
Number 3: China jade cucumber This long slender cucumber, with its sweet,
stunning jade-colored flesh is among the best tasting cucumbers on the planet!
It develops without pollination, making it seedless and burpless.
It’s our new favorite, perfect for snacking!
Number 2: Hedou Tiny bok choy These extra-dwarf heads look like fairy-sized
miniatures of regular bok choy!
This Hong Kong specialty is famous across China for its size — and its delicious flavor.
Number 1: Walking Stick kale This amazing heirloom from the island of Jersey
can grow over 15 feet tall and produces delicious leaves over a long period.
It adds a tree-like beauty to your yard, and its extra-long stalks can be dried and used
for walking sticks or trellising.
Happy garden dreaming!
