Rosemary Herb Seeds Packet
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is an evergreen perennial herb. Rosemary is prized for its fragrant, needle-like leaves, which are widely used in culinary dishes, herbal medicine, and ornamental gardens. This hardy herb is drought-resistant, thrives in warm climates, and attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Rosemary is a versatile, fragrant herb that enhances culinary dishes, herbal remedies, and garden aesthetics. By providing full sun, well-draining soil, and minimal care, gardeners can enjoy a steady supply of fresh rosemary. Whether planted in gardens or containers, rosemary thrives with regular harvesting and proper maintenance.

Standard paper seed packets are permeable to oxygen and moisture -- the two primary causes of seed degradation. Most paper-packaged seeds begin losing germination viability after approximately one year, contributing to significant garden-industry waste: packets purchased, not planted, expired, discarded. Shido Seeds are hermetically vacuum-sealed. The packet does not expire quietly in a drawer. It waits.
Every Shido seed packet is illustrated in the style of Japanese 1910s woodblock printing -- designed and drawn in-house by Chive, the Toronto ceramics studio that has been exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show in London every year and does not, as a matter of principle, sell to big-box retailers. Customers collect the packets as a series. This was not the original plan.
