Salad burnet is a perennial leafy green with a refreshing cucumber flavour. It is an excellent addition to salads and soups, as well as cocktails, or infused water. It's a striking plant in the landscape with its compound leaves and otherworldly red flowers. It is equally deserving of a place in the ornamental garden as the food forest or permaculture garden. I've found it to be quite drought tolerant.
The young leaves are the tastiest, and they can be harvested almost year round, as the plants don't mind frost.

Shipping & Returns
Shipping & Returns
We ship seeds via Canada Post within Canada for $6 to $8 depending on weight, United States for $20, and Internationally for $20*. Live plants, bulbs, and bulbils can only be shipped within Canada.
Any shipping overages will be refunded.
Shipping in Canada
We ship seeds in Canada via regular letter mail, which is an untracked service, and usually takes 1-2 weeks to arrive once we fulfill your order. Larger bulbs and plants are sent via tracked flat rate box.
Shipping to the US
We now require all US shoppers to obtain a Small Lot Seed Permit before purchasing. It's free to apply and you will likely be granted the permit instantly. To apply:
- Go to https://efile.aphis.usda.gov/s/
- Select PPQ-587 in the dropdown menu and click "Get Started".
- Login and follow the instructions to obtain a permit. You may list "Eligible Taxa" instead of listing all the species you'd like to import.
- Once you receive your permit, email us a PDF copy, including the yellow/green coloured labels. Tell us if which USDA station you want us to send the seeds to. If not mentioned we will choose a random one. Also let us know your order number. Our email is grow@cicadaseeds.ca
- We are not able to send any pepper or tomato seeds, or any bulbils due to restrictions.
After receiving your documentation, we will follow all requirements for mailing your seeds. We will ship via tracked parcel. Unfortunately we are not able to replace packages that are confiscated or destroyed by customs.
