I thought I would share with you all my favorite supplier of rare and unusual succulent seeds.
Yes, succulents can be started from seed. Some reasons I am opting for this option is my love of weird and unusual plants, this supplier allows me to find varieties that are not common. Plus, I am on a strict budget, so buying seeds allows me the ability to get my hands on a lot more varieties than if I were to buy plants. Plus, its just rewarding to start plants from seed, they feel like your ‘babies.’
There are many seed scams out there to be aware of, especially on sites like Etsy and similar places. I’ll write more about that later, but suffice it to say you don’t always get the seeds you are paying for, or such low quality they never germinate. Some frauds just send weed seeds or dust! How crappy is that?!
I placed a large order that should be arriving any day now from Unusual Seeds. I found out about them from another gardener who have used them for years.
They are a legit nursery that’s been in business 10 years. They are located in Serbia, but the checkout process was seamless and standard, shipping times will be a bit longer however due to location.
I’ve been in contact with the business owner and found them highly responsive. The options of plants are tremendous, a succulent plant lover’s paradise to visit!
For the sake of transparency, I am an affiliate with them and may get a small commission if anyone orders (at no extra cost). But, first off, I’m a happy customer and will be ordering again soon.
