I don't grow Escargot, and once learned that 'Princess of Hanover' is from Europe, where it's suspected that 'Escargo' might be a US patent violation OF this plant. That's a debate out there somewhere........I don't know.

Based on trusted sources, I know that Escargot is not patented. The tags say PPAF (plant patent applied for) but it's been like this for years! PPAF should last only 1 year. Escargot is just a trademark... and it's a good one! But is the same plant as 'Princess of Hanover'. They just have different names. It's more popular and was featured on the martha stewart show with the Escargot name.

Hi Daniel,

I just checked out your website. I really enjoyed it. It's too bad you weren't here when the co-ops were active. I think you would have had a lot of business from DG members!
