Ancient Acadian Savory – Organic
4.19$
This heritage variety was transmitted towards the end of the 19th century to Jean Prudent Robichaud, a resident of Canton-des-Robichaud in New Brunswick, by a Native American woman from Burnt Church. The plant has survived until today in this extended family to end up in the seed offering of a man named Norbert Robichaud of Bathurst.
In 2012, a Gauvin lady, amazed by the plant, which was noticeably stockier and tastier than the species, launched an investigation with Mr. Robichaud into the origin of this unique variety. Based on their discoveries, Mr. Robichaud offered seeds to the Atlantic Seed Bank and the Canadian Seed Library to preserve this treasure of our plant heritage and we thank him!
Hardy up to zone 4, it flowers profusely all summer attracting a large number of pollinating insects. Mr. Robichaud recommends direct seeding as soon as the land can be worked. Image: GAUVIN Jocelyne
