New seeds for 2026
The moment when the catalogue becomes a promise
There's a specific time, just before the first sowing, when a new selection is unveiled as if opening a window. The garden isn't yet visible, but everything is already there. A color never before cultivated, a fruit with an unexpected character, a bloom that transforms the atmosphere of a flowerbed. 2026 promises to be a year of true discoveries, with varieties that tell a story from the very first glance.

New products that make you want to sow earlier

Vegetable garden
Organic Ring Onion, Les Jardins de l'Écoumène
Some vegetables don't seek the spotlight, but end up becoming indispensable. Ring is one of them. It has a reassuring quality, the kind of seedling that confidently launches a season because it fits in everywhere. On the plate, it plays the role of the detail that changes everything. In the garden, it gives the impression that everything is falling into place.

Flowers
Organic Turkish poppy, Les Jardins de l'Écoumène
There are flowers that are more than just beautiful. They transform the energy of a space. The Turkish poppy is one of those that creates a "wow" effect without requiring any special surroundings. You sow it with the expectation of blooms, and then you find yourself planning the rest of the garden to give it the space it deserves.

Flowers
Zinnia 'Aztec Burgundy Bicolor' organic, Les Jardins de l'Écoumène
One look is enough. This zinnia has a rare depth, a contrast that immediately makes it seem more "designer" than "garden." It adds rhythm to flowerbeds, and it has that special talent of making bouquets richer without overwhelming them. A perfect variety for those who love color with character.

Vegetable garden
Pochmark Peach Pepper, Biologically Yours
We often fall in love with a chili pepper before we've even tasted it. This one, however, is first and foremost a story of color. A peachy hue that deviates from the norm, as if the vegetable garden had decided to take a detour through an artist's palette. It's the kind of variety you want to show off, give as a gift, cook with, and grow again the following year.

Vegetable garden
Patisson 'Green Lightning', WH Perron
It has an almost unreal look, as if nature took a moment to create a perfect pattern. 'Green Lightning' makes you want to harvest it just to place it in the center of the table, then cook it because it tastes as good as it looks. A new variety that elevates summer squash from "practical" to "signature."

Flowers
Organic 'La vie en rose' poppy, Sunflower
The poppy has a reputation for simplicity, but this variety changes the conversation. 'La vie en rose' brings a gentleness that captures attention without trying to be spectacular. It's the 'dream garden' effect: you don't know exactly why it's beautiful, but you want to stay there.

Vegetable garden
Red Noodle, Sunflower
When a plant climbs, it changes the way we think about space. 'Red Noodle' takes it a step further. Its long, deep red pods create an immediate decorative effect, like a living installation. We grow it for its abundance, then realize it also has the power to style the vegetable garden.

Vegetable garden
Organic 'Hot Chocolate Cherry' chili pepper, Sunflower
This one has a name that already hints at its purpose, and a color that confirms the intention. 'Hot Chocolate Cherry' is the kind of chili pepper that looks serious, dense, almost velvety. It inspires you to create a homemade sauce, a marinade, something personal, because the variety itself has a signature flavor.
Recommended photo placement: very dark fruit, contrast with green leaves, raking light, visible texture.
What makes 2026 special
There's a clear shift in perception: new things are no longer just "different," they're chosen to provoke a reaction. A more graphic vegetable garden, bolder flowers, colors that seem intentionally selected. That's precisely what makes the season so exciting: sowing seeds becomes a way of creating your own landscape.
And the rest
Several new releases are still to come, particularly from OSC and GAIA. If you like to keep up with new announcements, this is a perfect year to keep an eye on the additions, because the 2026 selection is being built as a collection of ideas, not just a simple list.
