Key benefits

  • Three wild greens to grow in a bed, balcony trough or pot
  • Pea-like campion shoots, spinach-like leaves and dandelion
  • All three are hardy perennials
  • Gift box with growing tips and recipes inside

Three wild greens that foragers seek out, boxed up to grow in a bed, balcony trough or large pot. Bladder campion (Silene vulgaris) has narrow blue-green shoots with a sweet, pea-like taste. Good King Henry (Blitum bonus-henricus) is an old perennial potherb with spinach-like leaves and young shoots eaten like asparagus. 'Vert de Montmagny' is a French market dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), selected in the 1800s for larger, deeper green leaves with a pleasant bitterness for salads.

Sowing and growing

  • Sow March to May, indoors in modules or outdoors once the soil warms
  • Good King Henry and dandelion: about 0.5 to 1 cm deep. Bladder campion: on the surface, barely covered
  • Germination is slow and uneven, roughly 10 to 28 days; Good King Henry can be slower
  • Full sun to light shade in fertile, well-drained soil; all three manage in containers
  • Heights of about 30 to 60 cm
  • Pick young leaves and shoots from late spring; Good King Henry crops best from its second year
  • All three are hardy perennials

What you receive: three Piccolo Seeds packets, Bladder Campion, Good-King-Henry and Vert de Montmagny Dandelion, in a Piccolo gift box with growing tips and recipes inside.

Frequently Asked Questions

What seeds are in the Foraging Wild Herbs collection?

The box holds three packets: Bladder Campion, Good-King-Henry and Vert de Montmagny Dandelion. All three are traditional wild or semi-wild greens that are perennial and hardy in the UK. The box includes growing tips and recipes.

Can I grow these foraging herbs on a balcony?

Yes. Each grows well in a deep trough or a pot of 25 to 30 cm filled with good multipurpose compost. Keep them watered in dry spells and pick young leaves regularly for the most tender growth.

Is this seed collection a good gift?

It is a popular choice for cooks, gardeners and anyone curious about foraging, as it comes ready boxed with three packets and instructions. All three plants are easy perennials, so a single sowing keeps giving for years.

What is your returns policy?
