SEEDS of PEACE - Seed List June 2017

SEEDS OF PEACE - seed list June 2017

Dear Friends,

Like last year we are now able to supply selected seeds of some very rare species which are impossible to obtain elsewhere. We also offer a short list of juvenile bulbs, corms and tubers, mostly 2 -3 years old.

Species of which small quantity is available are marked ***, these will probably finish in a couple of days after the list is out.

All seeds are fresh from autumn 2016 - spring 2017 and are not collected in the wild!!

As plants are grown mostly in open conditions we avoid proposing species that might hybridize such as some Cyclamen species etc. unless grown separately.

If you wish to receive future lists please let us know so that we can add you to our mailing list.

Seeds are priced 5 Euros per packet [Number of seeds in brackets].

Oncocyclus Iris seeds are priced 8 Euros as they are all hand pollinated and we offer only healthy, large seeds.

Species that are good for naturalizing in Mediterranean climate gardens are marked

Please add 7 Euros for post [Registered mail]

Payment is done with PayPal, I'm afraid we cannot accept other method at the moment.

Keep in mind that the vast majority of the species are growing in Mediterranean climate therefore not suitable to grow out in the open garden. All species on this list need a long period of dormancy [summer] and should not be watered during that time.

Please notice!! We will start shipping the seeds July 20th 2017. Orders can be made till the end of September 2017. You will receive a notice with the registered number. Our experience from the previous two years is that seeds arrive to most destination [worldwide] in 7-15 days but some took up to 4 weeks so please be patient.

We appreciate if you can send a quick note telling us that seeds arrived safely

Thank you,

To order: email a list of your request, [Please start a new email, do not answer to this one as it might get lost]. You will be informed of the total price and availability of the seeds.

You will receive a Pay pal request for payment; also will let you know when seeds are shipped and the postal registered number.
