Plantago lanceolata
Commonly known as Ribwort Plantain or Narrowleaf Plantain, this hardy perennial herb is often found growing along roadsides, paddocks and other disturbed ground. Frequently dismissed as a weed, Plantain has a long history as both a nutritious food plant and an important medicinal herb. Its distinctive narrow leaves form a low-growing rosette, while slender flower spikes rise above the foliage throughout the growing season.
For centuries, Plantain has been valued in traditional herbal medicine for its soothing, cleansing and anti-inflammatory properties. The leaves have been prepared as teas, syrups and infusions to support respiratory and digestive health, while fresh leaves have traditionally been applied externally to minor skin irritations, insect bites, scratches and other everyday complaints. It is often considered one of the most useful first-aid plants found in nature.
Young leaves are edible and can be added to salads when tender, while older leaves are best cooked or used in herbal preparations. Rich in beneficial plant compounds, Plantain is an excellent addition to medicinal herb gardens, food forests and naturalised plantings.
Easy to grow and highly adaptable, Ribwort Plantain thrives in a wide range of soils and conditions, tolerating drought, poor soils and partial shade once established.

When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: April to August
Subtropics: March to September
Mild climates: March to October
Cold climates: September to November and March to May
Planting / Sowing
Sow seed on the surface of moist soil or seed-raising mix and lightly press into place. Cover only very lightly, as seed benefits from exposure to light for germination. Keep evenly moist until seedlings emerge. Transplant or thin plants to 20–30 cm apart in a sunny or partly shaded position. Once established, Plantain requires very little care and readily self-seeds under favourable conditions.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety.
Not Available for WA
Plantago lanceolata
Tonic Plantain is a hardy, broadleaf, short-lived perennial forage herb valued for its deep taproot, nutritious foliage and excellent summer production. Fast to establish and highly adaptable, it provides valuable forage for grazing animals and poultry and is particularly useful as part of mixed pasture systems with grasses and clovers.
Its deep root system allows established plants to access moisture and nutrients from lower in the soil profile, contributing to good drought tolerance and reliable growth during warmer, drier periods. The foliage is high in protein and minerals, including calcium, making Tonic a useful addition to diverse forage systems.
Young plantain leaves also have a long history as an edible spring green in Europe. Left to flower, plants can reach approximately 90 cm tall, producing characteristic slender flower spikes that are visited by butterflies and other insects.
Tonic is tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions and has good resistance to pests and diseases. It performs best in moderately fertile, well-drained soil and tolerates mildly acidic conditions from approximately pH 5.5–7.
Sowing rate: approximately 25 g per 50 m²
Optimal germination temperature: 10–21°C
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: April to August
Subtropics: Autumn
Mild climates: Autumn
Cold climates: Autumn or spring
Planting / Sowing
Broadcast seed evenly over a prepared seedbed and lightly rake or press into the soil surface. Plantain seed is small, so avoid burying too deeply. Keep moist during germination and establishment.
For pasture improvement, sow alongside suitable grasses and clovers to provide a diverse mixture of forage species with different rooting depths and nutritional characteristics. Once established, manage grazing to allow sufficient recovery and maintain productive growth.

Papaver nudicaule
Artist’s Glory, also known as Victory Giants, is a beautiful Iceland Poppy producing large, crepe-textured flowers held gracefully above the foliage on slender, leafless stems reaching approximately 60 cm. The mixture offers a luminous range of colours including brilliant orange, buttery yellow, coral, white and soft pink.
A wonderful cool-season flower, Iceland Poppies bring vivid colour to cottage gardens, borders and cutting gardens from winter into spring. The delicate-looking blooms are excellent for floral arrangements, while flowers left in the garden are attractive to bees and other pollinating insects.
Usually grown as a cool-season annual or short-lived perennial, plants prefer full sun, cool conditions and free-draining soil. They dislike prolonged heat and humidity and generally perform best when established during the cooler months.
Seed count: approximately 7,500 seeds/g
Approximately 3,000 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter in cooler locations
Subtropics: Autumn to winter
Mild climates: Autumn to late winter
Cold climates: Late winter to spring, or autumn where established plants can overwinter
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly where plants are to grow, as Poppies dislike root disturbance. Scatter the very fine seed over prepared soil and press gently onto the surface. Cover only very lightly, if at all, and keep consistently moist during germination.
Thin seedlings carefully to approximately 20–30 cm apart. Grow in full sun with excellent drainage and avoid disturbing the roots once plants are established.

Papaver nudicaule, Papaver paeoniflorum, Papaver rhoeas
Poppy Mix is a wonderfully varied blend combining several classic Poppy types, including Shirley and Flanders Poppies, Iceland Poppies and large, densely petalled Paeony Poppies. The result is an eclectic mixture of flower forms, heights and colours, with every planting producing a slightly different display.
Expect everything from delicate, tissue-like single blooms to large, extravagant double flowers in shades of red, pink, salmon, orange, yellow, white and mixed tones. The combination creates a relaxed cottage garden effect and is particularly beautiful when sown generously through beds, borders and cutting gardens.
The different Poppy types will not necessarily flower at exactly the same time, helping extend the display. Flowers are attractive to bees and other pollinating insects, while many of the varieties also make excellent cut flowers.
Approximately 1,800 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter in cooler locations
Subtropics: Autumn to winter
Mild climates: Autumn to early spring
Cold climates: Late winter to spring, or autumn where plants can overwinter
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly where plants are to grow, as Poppies dislike root disturbance. Scatter the fine seed thinly over prepared soil and press gently onto the surface. Cover only very lightly and keep consistently moist during germination.
Thin seedlings as required to prevent overcrowding. Grow in full sun with free-draining soil and avoid disturbing established plants. Because this is a mixture of several species and forms, plant height, flowering time and growth habit will naturally vary.
Due to quarantine restrictions, WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.

Papaver orientale
Oriental Mixed is a spectacular hardy perennial Poppy producing large, papery flowers in a rich mixture of coral, tangerine, orange and crimson. The dramatic blooms are carried on tall stems above deeply divided foliage, creating a striking display through late spring and early summer.
Once established, Oriental Poppies are remarkably tough and long-lived, returning year after year in suitable climates. Their bold flowers make an impressive feature in cottage gardens, perennial borders and mass plantings, while the open blooms provide pollen for bees and other pollinating insects.
Plants prefer full sun and free-draining soil and develop good drought tolerance once established. Oriental Poppies perform particularly well in cooler and temperate climates and may become dormant after flowering, with foliage dying back before returning with cooler conditions.
Approximately 1,800 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Generally not suited to tropical climates
Subtropics: Autumn to winter in cooler areas
Mild climates: Autumn to spring

Planting / Sowing
Sow directly where plants are to grow or into individual pots to minimise root disturbance. Scatter the fine seed over prepared soil and press gently onto the surface, covering only very lightly.
Keep moist during germination and thin seedlings carefully once established. Choose a permanent position in full sun with excellent drainage, as Oriental Poppies develop a substantial taproot and dislike being disturbed once established.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
Papaver paeoniflorum
Paeony Double Mix is a spectacular annual Poppy producing large, fully double blooms with densely packed, ruffled petals resembling old-fashioned paeonies. Flowers appear in a rich mixture of pink, rose, red, white and deep plum, creating a dramatic display through spring and early summer.
The tall stems and extravagant flowers make a striking addition to cottage gardens, borders and mass plantings. Once flowering finishes, attractive ornamental seed pods develop and can be left in the garden or harvested for dried arrangements. Plants readily self-seed in favourable conditions, often returning naturally in following seasons.
Easy to grow, Paeony Poppies prefer full sun, cooler growing conditions and well-drained soil. They establish best when sown directly where they are to flower, as Poppies dislike root disturbance.

Papaver rhoeas
Flanders Poppy, also known as Corn Poppy or Field Poppy, is a classic European wildflower producing brilliant scarlet-red flowers with delicate, papery petals, often marked with a dark centre. The slender stems and vivid blooms create a striking display in cottage gardens, wildflower plantings and borders.
Once a common sight in European agricultural fields, the Flanders Poppy became an enduring symbol of remembrance following the First World War, particularly after flourishing across the disturbed ground of the Western Front.
Easy to grow and quick to establish, plants flower generously through the cooler growing season and are attractive to bees and other pollinating insects. Once flowering finishes, decorative seed capsules develop and plants can readily self-seed in favourable conditions.
The mature seeds are edible and have traditionally been used in breads, cakes, biscuits and other baked goods.

Papaver rhoeas
Shirley Single Flowered Mix is a classic annual Poppy producing delicate, tissue-like single blooms in a beautiful mixture of colours including pink, rose, salmon, red and white, often with softly blended or contrasting edges. Growing to approximately 70 cm tall, the slender stems create a light, graceful display through late winter and spring.
A long-time cottage garden favourite, Shirley Poppies are excellent for mass planting, wildflower gardens and informal borders. The flowers can also be used for cutting, while blooms left in the garden provide pollen for bees and other pollinating insects.
Plants perform best in a warm, sunny position with average, well-drained soil and a neutral pH. Pinching out early buds can encourage bushier, more strongly branched plants, while removing finished flowers helps prolong the flowering season. Allow some seed pods to mature if you would like plants to self-seed.

Solanum tuberosum)
Dutch Cream is a much-loved, golden-fleshed potato known for its rich, buttery flavour and smooth, creamy texture. High in natural oils and low in starch, it’s perfect for mashing, roasting, and baking, delivering a silky finish every time. Dutch Cream grows well across many Australian regions, thriving in loose, fertile soils and full sun. Harvest once the plants have flowered and the skins have set for the best flavour and storage.
Before planting, slice larger tubers into sections, making sure each piece carries at least one or two strong eyes (sprouts). Allow the cut surfaces to dry and callous over for a day or two to reduce the risk of rotting in the soil. Avoid cutting pieces too small — a good chunk of tuber helps support strong early growth and better yields.
Potatoes are propagated from “seed potatoes” — whole tubers or pieces specifically grown for planting. Certified seed potatoes are produced under controlled conditions to ensure varietal purity and freedom from disease. They offer stronger vigour and higher yields compared to supermarket potatoes, making them the preferred choice for reliable, healthy crops.
