Southern Seeds was founded in 2019 by Ryan and Kim Dorn and became Seed Therapy in 2025. The family business moved its operations to the Dallas, Texas, area in 2023. Drawing on generations of growing experience, the team focuses on dependable seeds, personal customer service, and helping gardeners succeed. Its work includes relationships with American farms and seed donations to schools and community gardens.

Add a vibrant and purposeful touch to your garden with Meadow Arnica seeds. This hardy North American native is prized for its cheerful, yellow daisy-like blooms and its long history in traditional herbalism. Meadow Arnica (Arnica chamissonis) is often preferred by gardeners over its European cousin because it is much easier to cultivate in a wider range of conditions. Whether you are looking to support local pollinators or grow your own apothecary garden, this perennial is a stunning and useful choice for sunny meadows and borders.
