We now have a great new salad leaf available. February Orchid Orychophragmus violaceus was brought here from China by Joy Larkcom. It is a brassica for use in salads or as a cooking green. Sown in summer and autumn it provides mild but tasty leaves throughout the winter.  Sow directly in the ground or in modules from July to September. Cut leaves as needed, The beautiful violet spring flowers can also be eaten. See pics here

All the seeds in this catalogue are grown on our farm in West Cork. We have been selecting over the years for varieties and individual plants that work here. They are open-pollinated, or open source seeds, which means that you can save your own seed from them.

The farm is certified by The Organic Trust so that the seeds may be used by certified organic growers. There are no chemical treatments carried out on the seeds or the plants they are harvested from. (IRL-O1B3-EU Symbol No. 159).

Brown Envelope Seeds is registered with the Department of Agriculture and inspected by it.
