Welcome to BotanyCa 2023

As we welcome 2023 with the hope of renewal, I would like to express, again, my sincere gratitude to all supporters of BotanyCa Seeds in the past year(s).
 
Navigating the seas of a small business selling low value products, i.e seeds, is not an easy task, to say the least. Especially with the ever increasing restrictions for shipping seeds to various parts of the world, I found myself asking if the effort is worthwhile.

On the balance, the kind words of appreciation received from the customers, and the fact that a large range of North American native species and others not often cultivated can be grown because of our offerings, weigh more, at least for the time being.

Therefore, I invite you all to follow BotanyCa Seeds again in 2023, in the discovery and joy of growing plants from seeds, to learn about new species and various quirks of seeds & germination.

The Seeds List will be as usual ‘in the works’ throughout the seasons, with hydrophilic species offered fresh and moist packed to ensure good germination. Many native species are offered every year; one-time offerings are removed when sold out and new species are added when available.

The simple process of sowing is an exercise in hope in itself. This is the ‘secret’ of the optimism shared by all seeds-coholics. Of course that from the ‘million’ seedlings obtained, a few will grow and flower!

This is another ‘secret’ for having something new flowering every year. There is always something to look forward plants-wise: new seedlings, new flowers, and new seeds!

 

Various species that flowered for the first time in 2022 and hopefuls for 2023 and beyond!

*I always sow a few seeds at the beginning of the New Year as an exercise on hope; those who didn’t follow my advice to sow species that need cold/moist stratification in late fall, and/or want to start their tradition, and those who are purchasing seeds currently, please follow the advice for sowing in the winter : Here.
