Mareds Perennial 
Many perennials are difficult to grow from 
seed. Some require special soil, moisture and 
temperature conditions. Many do not come true 
from seed. Since much of the seed we offer is 
grown on our own farm, we have an opportunity 
to save seed from only the finest specimens, and 
to offer only that which germinates well. 
The following list contains only those which 
are easy to grow if given a fairly decent soil 
and are not allowed to dry out while they are 
germinating.
