6 New Edible and Garden Offerings From Burpee for 2024

Posted by Brian Sparks|January 10, 2024

Burpee Gardening is planning to make gardening more bountiful and more beautiful than ever with the unveiling of a strong line-up of new varieties for 2024. Gardeners will be enticed by the dozens of groundbreaking choices that offer fresh colors, rare tastes, and a more rewarding experience.

All new varieties have been evaluated in real conditions by Burpee’s team of horticulture pros at Fordhook Farm in Doylestown, PA. They also meet Burpee’s quality standards, so gardeners can grow them with confidence.

Here are just a few of the standouts that gardeners will hopefully be eagerly planting this season.

Hybrid Corn ‘Ultra Violet’: The source that introduced yellow sweet corn to American gardens now offers the worl’’s first truly sweet purple corn. ‘Ultra Violet’ delivers the sugary satisfaction of sweet corn with stunning dark violet kernels on solid, 8-inch-long ears. Burpee Exclusive.
Gaillardia ‘Golden Beauty’: The plump, double flower clusters of ‘Golden Beauty’ bloom abundantly, and relentlessly, until frost. The exotic all-yellow variety stands tall on sturdy, 2-foot-high stems and it is exceptionally drought-tolerant. Burpee Exclusive.
Hybrid Sunflower ‘Desire Red’: The deep, bold colors of ‘Desire Red’ bring uncommon drama to flower beds and containers. The wine-red petals emerge from a burgundy center disk and the stems sport a dark hue, too. Developed by the Burpee breeding program.
Potato ‘Makah Ozette’: This potato comes with a story about a Native American heirloom that’s not widely grown or known. Even better, ‘Makah Ozette’ has a deliciously high ratio of ultra-flavorful skin to fluffy, nutty flesh, making it a new favorite of research gardeners. Burpee Exclusive.
Hybrid Marigold ‘Mission Giant Orange’: Burpee, known for decades as the source for marigold varieties, is bringing gardeners a huge new star. ‘Mission Giant Orange’ has tight clusters of 3-inch bright, orange-yellow blooms on 2- to 3-foot-tall stems. They can hold up the back line of a flower border and look striking in vases. Burpee Exclusive.
Morning Glory ‘TuTu’: Gardeners can add a new dimension to their landscapes with this glorious climbing vine. The flowers of ‘TuTu’ have ruffled pink petals that are semi-double, and they deliver a big pop of flower power from early summer until frost. Burpee Exclusive.
