xHeritage chia for your garden
Isla's Garden Seeds presents chia seeds for planting that blend heritage variety value with garden versatility. This open-pollinated, heirloom Salvia hispanica seeds package comes from a mint family lineage and is offered as non GMO. While best known for its playful ties to chia pets, these seeds open the door to a living herb with textured leaves, aromatic stems, and eye catching purple flower spikes when grown in the right conditions. The plant is annual and suited to warm-season growing, providing a lush, vertical presence in herb beds, borders, or containers.
Key growth details from the seed data show the plant can rise to about 18-24 inches in height under favorable conditions, with fuzzy, dark green foliage that fans out along sturdy stems. The Latin name Salvia hispanica anchors the species identity, while its origins trace back to Mexico and Guatemala. Gardeners in USDA zones 8 through 12 may find this selection especially receptive to seasonal sun and warmth, helping to shape a resilient, decorative herb that can serve multiple uses across the season.
