For example, Lobelia FuseablesTM blends an early and a late flowering variety into each pellet. Petunia FuseablesTM takes the guesswork out of choosing which petunias are compatible with each other for combo planters. And Multi-species FuseablesTM combines two interesting species resulting in an outstanding combination of texture and color.

About Harris Seeds
The Harris Seeds company began its catalog operation in 1879. It evolved from the efforts of Joseph Harris, an English immigrant who became extremely successful in the selection of superior strains of vegetables and grains.
Joseph Harris settled in the Genesee Valley Region of Western New York in the 1850's. His success as a seedsman led to the beginning of Harris Seeds in 1879. The company became widely popular because of his basic business philosophy – "offer my customers a quality product at a fair price and they will return." Harris Seeds is an active member of the American Seed Trade Association, the National Garden Bureau and the Mail-order Gardening Association.
