Organic Black and Tan Sesame HEIRLOOM Who knew?! You too can grow huge, delicious, abundant sesame seeds here in the Northeast. Sesame is a remarkably easy to grow, it’s striking 3 to 4 feet tall stalks towering with beautiful foxglove-like rose-pink flowers. It is tolerant of both drought & poor soils as it blossoms July through frost, yielding an abundance of delicious sesame seeds. The unique seed heads of sesame are fascinating and enchanting (we have them dry in a vase all winter in our home), it’s seeds easy to harvest and clean using simple tools you already have around your house, like screens and fans.

5 of 5 Fun, beautiful plants that (oops) fed the wildlife December 23, 2018
Reviewer: Hannah from Maine  
I was delighted with these seeds, which did just fine in Maine. The pale pink & white blossoms were lovely and the sturdy pods are quite beautiful. Unfortunately I had been checking the seed heads routinely on the plants in the fields, waiting for them to turn brown before harvesting but after getting a hard frost, the wild rodents decided that it was time to stock up and they ate almost all of the seed in just two nights. Next season I'll harvest them earlier or try row cover to keep the critters away.
