Looking for varieties that are container-growable? It is easier than ever to find garden seeds that can be grown in tight spaces like patios and balconies! True Leaf Market has added an identifying icon that appears as a dark green circle with a white “C” in the center. It can be found on product tiles across category pages alongside the heirloom, organic, AAS Winner, and Staff Favorites icons, as seen below.

In addition to this icon, we have also improved the filtering functionality on each category page. Simply select the characteristics you want your seeds to have, and unapplicable products will be filtered out of the displayed results. This not only applies to the container-growable characteristic but also to seed type (heirloom, organic, etc.), growing location, zones, and more!

We hope these features will help you locate your favorite seeds and new varieties that best fit your growing needs.
