Seed Needs, Blue Star Columbine Seeds for Planting (Heirloom & Open Pollinated)

Seed Needs: A Seed Company on a Mission for Change

Seed Needs has been providing gardeners with quality seed products since 2010, shipping millions of packets to happy customers across the US. The company offers a wide range of products, including flowers, herbs, vegetables, vines, wildflower blends, seed packet collections, and seed packet favors.

With the success of their brand, Seed Needs has kept its promise to continually donate to different organizations and personally sponsor children worldwide each month. The company has grown its sponsorships from just one child to over 100 children in a few short years. Seed Needs would like to sincerely thank all who support them, as it wouldn't be possible without their loyal customers.

Seed Needs' beautifully illustrated packets provide a colorful depiction of the variety inside, including the common and scientific names, seed quantity, and growing specifications. The reverse side of each packet contains full growing instructions, with details on sowing, growing conditions, germination, and growth information. Additionally, a QR code is provided for easy reordering.

Seed Needs' products are always non-GMO and untreated, stored in a temperature-controlled facility free of moisture. The seeds are packaged for the current and following growing seasons, ensuring they are true to the variety advertised and 99% pure, with no added fillers.

One of Seed Needs' popular offerings is the Blue Star Columbine (Aquilegia caerulea), a perennial flowering plant that produces beautiful, double-petaled blooms in shades of blue and white. These plants can reach a mature height of 24 to 36 inches and spread up to 18 inches wide, attracting a variety of beneficial insects such as butterflies, bumblebees, hummingbirds, and ladybugs.

To ensure successful germination, Seed Needs recommends a process of stratification, where the seed packet is placed in the fridge for about 4 weeks prior to sowing. The seeds can then be sown indoors in peat pots or directly outdoors, with the plants thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-draining, fertile soil.

Seed Needs was founded by a young entrepreneur who started the company at just 15 years old, with the goals of bringing his family closer, retiring his father, employing friends, and, most importantly, helping people. The company offers a wide range of open-pollinated, heirloom flowers, culinary and medicinal herbs, and popular vegetable varieties.

Seed Needs is proud to have grown its sponsorships from just one child to over 100 children worldwide each month, and it continually donates to organizations like St. Jude Children's Hospital and the ASPCA. The company's commitment to quality, quantity, and customer satisfaction is evident in its packaging, which features beautiful illustrations and detailed growing information, as well as its promise to never knowingly supply GMO-based seed products.
