Limited Edition Seeds, available only for a limited time, make great gifts for anyone on your list. Whether you are giving them as a gift for yourself or for someone you love or simply to save yourself the hassle of growing them yourself, they make a great treat. Most people get one or two types of seeds every year and then the gardeners that have a larger garden have to wait until the next year to replant so, besides needing fresh flowers and vegetables, they may also need more restricted growing space and limited varieties of seeds. If you are in that situation, it is a good idea to buy Limited Edition Seeds to get the gardener started when they are in the process of starting a small garden.
One of the most popular Limited Edition Seeds is African Granny Smith (Aegyptians), with the most common variety being the Black Beauty (synonymous with Black Cohosh). This stunning herbaceous plant is a full bushy blossom with two umbels and a long flexible stamen. The purple flowers are elliptical and appear most concentrated towards the base of the stem. In addition to African Granny Smith, there are several other rare varieties such as the Pyrus Signiflorum, Pyrus Malayanum, Pyrus Asiatris and the Pyrus Cosmocarpum. Each variety has its own beautiful flowers.
Pyrus Astralis (athene) is a perennial herb with an aromatic, citrus flavor. It has a medium green color and a fissured texture that are quite rigid. As with many herbs, it flowers in a cluster rather than singly. The fragrance is subtle and pungent and some lovers of this herb prefer to let it dry out for a few days before using it.

Limited edition seeds should be maintained carefully, starting with the soil and proper conditions of the plant as soon as you get home from the garden center or seed store.
One word of advice: keep your seeds dry! Wet seeds will start to sprout quickly, so keep them out of the heat. Also, check with your local nursery to find out what sort of fertilizers they have available, since some seeds may need different kinds of fertilizer than others. When you purchase your limited edition seeds, remember that most seeds don’t produce an outstanding crop right away, and you’ll want to wait a few weeks or so before planting. The bumper crops you see in the grocery stores aren’t usually seeds that were originally sown at home; most of them were just bought in large quantities.
