Heliconia magnifica ripe fruits

Seeds

 


 

Thank you for visiting our SEEDS page!

Para información en Español, por favor ver más abajo en la página.

We offer a wide variety of Heliconia and ornamental ginger seeds for sale year round. Seeds of different tropical fruits that may be in season, some flowering trees, and butterfly host plant seeds are also available. All seeds are collected at our farm in Puerto Rico, from organically grown plants.

Our regular seed packets are usually $4.99 each plus shipping. The number of seeds per packet will depend on: plant species, seed size, and availability. Most of our Heliconia seed packets contain 10 - 12 seeds each; if fewer or larger amounts of seeds are offered, it'll be specified on the list. Ginger and Musa seed packets contain a minimum of 15 seeds unless specified. We always add bonus seeds to every order.

PLEASE NOTE: Only those species marked with a small "x" on the table below are currently available. Others will eventually be available during the year.

BULK packs of 50 seeds or more of heliconia and ginger seeds (and 30 seeds or more of tropical fruit seeds) are sometimes available. These are also very fresh seeds that can be offered at a great price when we have plenty of seeds of any given species. Please check the list below for currently available BULK Packs (marked on the right column with a big X), and email us if you need any additional information..

Shipping to the USA and its territories is just $1.50 for up to 4 regular heliconia and/or ginger seed packets. For fruit seed orders, please inquire. We prefer PayPal, but can accept Money Orders for orders shipped to addresses in the USA.

International shipping starts at $2.20 for up to 3 heliconia and/or ginger seed packets. For fruit seed orders, or large heliconia seed orders, please inquire. Payment for international orders is by PayPal or through Western Union. We're very sorry, but we don't accept drafts from overseas banks.

We ship seeds worldwide, but can no longer ship to Costa Rica, Italy, Mauritius, or Mexico, very sorry for that.

Some countries prohibit the import of seeds. Australia, for example, has very strict agricultural rules, and seeds of many heliconia species are not allowed. Please check AQIS' "List of Permitted Species" online at: www.aqis.gov.au

NOTE: Due to regulations concerning MOKO disease, which attacks bananas, AQIS will intercept all heliconia seeds going into Australia, even though they might be on the List of Permitted Species! Please contact your local agricultural authorities before ordering seeds from us, and very sorry for the inconvenience this will certainly post to you.

How to order seeds from us. Send us a simple list of the species you'd like to purchase, and mark those you may want in larger quantities (BULK Packs). We'll verify your list for availability, send you a total, and instructions on how to pay through PayPal. If you don't use PayPal, we'll also accept Money Orders from addresses in the U.S.A., and payments through Western Union for international orders. Orders will be shipped as soon as payment is confirmed. You'll find our email and postal address at the end of this page.

If you're new with PayPal, please contact us for details, or click on the PayPal logo for information on how to register:  

Please give us at least 10 days to process your order. Sometimes we may be able to ship your seeds very quickly, but often times we'll need additional time to pack and ship them well. Our seed packets are carefully labeled and packed by hand, and this is time consuming. Orders are always processed in the same order as they're received.

EN ESPAÑOL: Las semillas actualmente disponible están marcadas con una "x" en la tabla que sigue. Las demás especies las tendremos en algún momento durante el año. Los paquetes regulares de semillas de heliconias generalmente contienen de 10 a 12 semillas, pero en algunos casos la cantidad puede ser mayor o menor, como se especifica abajo. Puede enviarnos su orden a través de un correo, y le dejaremos saber el total a pagar a través de PayPal o Western Union. Cualquier pregunta en cuanto a precios, cantidades, etc., por favor escríbanos al correo electrónico que aparece al final de esta página o llame a nuestro número de teléfono en horas de la tarde. Con mucho gusto le atenderemos. Muchas gracias!
