Calendula - Art Shades - Mix

All flower seeds available from The Olde Creamery have been grown by us, on our farm in North East Victoria. We maintain the plants during the growing season, pinching & disbudding to promote healthy sturdy plants.

Once harvested the heads are split open and the seeds removed and sorted by hand – this can be quite time-consuming! Any non-viable seeds are removed & the batch is periodically tested to ensure they contain an endosperm. They are then air-dried to reduce the chances of mold before being individually packaged for sale.

Did you know that many of the seeds available to buy commercially are produced overseas? Just like most of our cut flower industry as well. They are then stored for weeks in cold storage as well as fumigated and treated with harsh chemicals to meet our strict border security measures.
