Seeds from New Zealand

I have purchased some seeds during my trip to New Zealand. New Zealand is a beautiful, nature and spectacular views. I will update some posts about my trip later when i have time :)


As you can see from the photo, there are some white envelope seeds from Garden Stuff. This online shop is located in Christchurch, I have purchased it online before I went to New Zealand and requested them to deliver to my last day accommodation in Christchurch and I received the seeds safely when i arrived to the accommodation :)

I have bought Liatris Florist Violet, Ageratum Neptune Blue, Hollyhock Marjorette, Chrysanthemum Carinatum Painted Daisy, Anagallis Monelii Blue Pimpernell and Lisianthus Double Echo Pink. Whereas the Hollyhock Ebony Towers is a free gift from them *Surprise*. Hollyhock is my all time favorite and this dwarf type Hollyhock is suitable for me which has small garden and limited space. It grows around 2-3 feet tall.

Yellow package seeds are actually from Bracken Hall (on the way to Te Anau), they are selling around NZD3.20 each which is the cheaper price i have found. As some other place selling around NZD6++. I have grabbed Portulaca, Lupin, Lobelia and Dahlia. While the Livingstone Daisy i purchased in a nursery in Ashburton (on the way back to Christchurch).

All the seeds from New Zealand are fresh and have a good germination rate. I have germinated few of them successfully in my garden now. Will update the progress later on, please stay tune ^_^
