Perennial rootstock
In this collection you will find many wild edibles and medicinal roots grown for beauty, food and herbal applications. Many beginner gardeners may find it easier to start and plant roots and bulbs instead of growing out from seed. It certainly cuts the waiting time down by years in some cases.
All bulbs and roots are of mature size that will produce for you the first season if planted in the correct soil and location. We grow all of the items listed and are sold every other year due to growing times. Tips are given for all products.
