BotanyCa Seeds List 2024, always in the works…

How to use the Seeds List

Click on the species name in the list to find out more: common name, description, pictures, cost and germination instructions.

  • Species with very small seeds, which are hard to count (orchids, some species of Saxifraga, Drosera) and indicated as 50+/pck. or 30+/pck. are always provided in greater quantities. So, one packet contains more than enough seeds to sow one full pot.
  •  Something I had not considered necessary to write down before: all the seeds are free of any chemicals, the moist packed ones included; seeds from cultivated plants are from organically managed gardens.
    Inventory may show temporarily  ‘out of stock’ while orders are being processed, check back in a few days;
  • SO marked  in the Seeds List – means the species is Sold out
    We do not offer all species on a yearly basis. Sold out species which are not offered on a yearly base will be removed from the list and archived (use the Search button to read about them if necessary). Offerings older than 4 years are deleted entirely.
  • Hepatica and Corydalis solida seeds are available almost every year during the month of June ONLY.

BotanyCa operates as a seeds provider for the hobby gardeners and specialized nurseries. With regret, we cannot provide large quantities of seeds for naturalizations or other large scale garden projects. From the beginning, the desire and goal of this business was for regular gardeners to have access to native species not commonly offered by other sources in Canada (or offered as DOD); and also to non-native, more unusual species which come at a high price as plants and are best grown from seeds.

With this in mind, species with limited seeds in stock can only be ordered as 1 pck./person like in previous years. Also, all the other species, at least for the beginning of the season, can be purchased in max. 2 pck. /person.

For all species marked in green: seeds are provided fresh and/or ‘moist-packed’ almost every year; usually they are available right away after collection until early winter – weather permitting shipping.
