Wildflowers - Fireweed Seeds
Fireweed is a pretty popular perennial and can be started from seeds. The seeds are tiny - just about like dust. They take some time to grow, but eventually grow into this beautiful plant that can be 5 feet tall. It is call fireweed because it can create large colonies of beautiful pink flowers in the wake of forest fires. The pink flowers eventually give way to fluffy pods that disperse their tiny seeds on the wind. This is a long-lived perennial, so plant it where it can thrive for many years.

The common name "fireweed" comes from this wildflower's rapid growth over recently burned ground. The seeds remain in the soil for many years, bursting into bloom when fire clears the ground and brings light to the soil. In twentieth century Britain, this bright flower acquired the nickname "bombweed" because it thrived in bomb craters. Fireweed has become a symbol of the Alaska and the Yukon region, and has a long history of culinary and medicinal use; currently, the slightly spicy petals are used to flavor wildflower honey, candy, ice cream, or jelly.Starting at $3.60 USD
