Thursday Morning Riddle

I am planted in gardens and sold by the packet;
I’m placing a team in a tournament bracket;
Coax rain from a cloud when with ice you attack it;
And cash for a startup from those who would back it.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

    In that drenching April shower,
    A seed adapts in thick mud to become a flower.
    Thus, a bucketful of cut phlox knit into a bower
    May contain an aroma and mystical power.

    SEED is correct. Way to go, Asher!

    And thanks for the amazing anagram, Dharam!
