The BEEKMAN FLOWER COLLECTION
Landreth Seeds, which is currently celebrating its 225th anniversary, provides many of the seeds for the formal flower garden at The Beekman Mansion. This collection represents some of our rare and unique favorites.
IN THIS COLLECTION:
NASTURTIUM GOLDEN GLEAM - Introduced in Europe in the 1600s, the brilliant yellow flowers can be used in salads, as can their peppery seeds.
HOLLYHOCK INDIAN SPRING - Growing up to fivefeet tall, its white, pink, or rose blossoms have been prized since the 17th century.
CHINESE LANTERN PLANT - Its vibrant orange husk in fall is perfect for dried arrangements.
FOXGLOVE (DIGITALIS)- Beautiful bell shaped blossoms, from purple to pink, cascade from a central stalk.
POPPY RED AMERICAN LEGION - The American summertime classic.
