HEIRLOOM If we can grow our own sesame seeds, you can, too!

Sesame is remarkably easy to grow annual, her gorgeous 3+ foot flower stalks stacked with beautiful foxglove-like blossoms that glow rose-pink. Black and Tan Sesame will thrive in full sun, tolerant of both drought & poor soils, blossoming July through frost to share her abundance of delicious sesame seeds. The unique seed heads of sesame are fascinating and absolutely breathtaking; we actually have a dry bouquet of sesame in a vase all winter in our home! Sesame seeds are easy to harvest and clean using simple tools like fans, colanders and screens you may have around your house.

Would you love to receive these seeds? Rather than selling and shipping, we share seeds as an embodied gift practice.
