Giant Turkish Plantain ?

[PaulZone8b]

I have the tiny leaf plantain in my yard and harvesting those...but I am looking for the bigger leaf Turkish variety (1 leaf is bigger than your hand). Anyone know where to find some of that ? Looking for seeds I guess to start my own here.

Good old Amazon has a small 20 seed packet for about $10.

@PaulZone8b does your small leaf variety survive the winters there ok?

Thanks ML. I don't exactly trust "Amazon" but I will look. I have bought seeds from Amazon several times and they haven't yet ended up being the advertised variety.

I honestly never noticed if our tiny leaf version dies in winter, but I think it does. I am only into gardening now for 3-4 yrs and trying to learn the herbs too. Soooo many to learn. I just thought with this plantain, if its the leaves that are medicinal...we should want the largest. I have these tiny ones all over the place so I am still harvesting these too.

Really? I buy thousands of seeds from them every year and can't recall a single time that I didn't end up with the purchased variety.
