Unusual Wisconsin growers market weed and artichoke seeds
Dandelion and chickweed seed sales propel a Wisconsin venture run by Ray Swanyon and associates who supply bulk weed seeds to the US Department of Agriculture and other institutions for chemical testing. Salvatore Fricano grows artichokes from seeds in Glendale, while Frank Sperka of Crivus patents a bleeding heart cultivar and explores hybridizing wild flowers. Bamboo near Madison draws attention from artist Sidney Boyum, though it is not edible and has aggressive underground roots. Banks in Milwaukee display flowering roses in planters, with mass color pleasing the public and plans to replant in spring. The piece notes risks, propagation challenges, and the appeal of growing unusual plants as a pastime.
