Description: You will receive a packet of 200 Seeds from our Broadleaf Plantain / Plantago Major plants growing in sunny Florida. Home grown naturally using regenerative methods with lots of love and zero chemicals, pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. The seeds are from our most recent harvest and are fresh viable seeds ready to sow. Growing Info & TipsPlantago major, commonly known as Broadleaf Plantain, is an herbal ally from the Plantaginaceae family. It lives as a perennial, and once established, Plantain can be harvested at any time of the year. It grows low to the ground in a rosette cluster of oval-shaped, veiny leaves. It blooms a single spike of tiny compact, cream-colored flowers from spring through fall. It grows to a height of no more than five inches at maturity. Here in Florida, I find that Plantain prefers partial shade and can grow in a variety of soils, from rocky to sandy. Plantain seeds are best grown directly outside by sowing in early to mid-spring after the last frost has passed. Seeds should be scattered directly over prepared soil in the ground or in a pot with potting soil. Germination normally takes 7-14 days. The leaves can be harvested for use 30 days after the first plants sprout from the soil. Uses and PreparationPlantago Major has several homeopathic uses and is highly nutritious. The young, tender leaves can be eaten raw, and the older, stringier leaves can be boiled in soups or stews. You can also make tea from the leaves. Please do your own research before using and consuming. Please Note: All of my seeds are fresh and viable. Growing plants from seeds is fun! The majority of the time it is a success but sometimes it’s not. This just is the way it is with nature and gardening. I hope you experience success with all the seeds, however because I am not there to plant them, I cannot be responsible for germination failure due to improper planting or climate conditions etc. I do include a detailed note with planting advice with your order to help ensure your success. Shipping of Seeds: To keep the cost down for everyone, I ship my seeds via the Postal Service, USPS, by First Class Letter (a stamped envelope).
