Herbs & Seeds: Dried Botanicals and Seeds to Sow
Most people land here after one plant and find 102 of them, split across two very different shelves. One side is dried material sold by weight, bark, leaf, root and flower, like Mimosa hostilis root bark, for infusions and tinctures. The other side is seed you sow yourself, from Kanna and Ashwagandha to San Pedro, Peruvian Torch and Peyote, so work out whether you're after seeds infusions or something to plant. Sort out which one you actually want before you order, and the rest is easy.

Brewing, Sowing and Storing: How This Shelf Works
The biggest mix-up we get here: people assume every seed pack on this page is something to steep. Most aren't. Seeds like Kanna, Khat and Ma Huang are for sowing, and the material you'd actually put in a cup is the dried bark, leaf, root and flower. A bag of Peyote seeds and a bag of Wormwood do completely different jobs.
Dried Bark and Flower on One Side, Seeds on the Other
Around a third of the range is seed: Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum), Khat (Catha edulis), Ma Huang (Ephedra sinica), Morning Glory (Ipomoea tricolor), Hawaiian Baby Woodrose (Argyreia nervosa), Ashwagandha, Wild Lettuce, plus cactus seed like San Pedro, Bolivian Torch and Peyote. The rest of the smartshop botanicals come dried and weighed out: Jurema Preta (Mimosa hostilis) root bark, Banisteriopsis caapi vine, Mulungu bark, Bobinsana, Chacruna leaf, Blue Lotus and White Lotus flowers. Watch out for the slow ones: Kanna seed needs a week of daily water changes before it will even germinate, and Peyote takes years to become a cactus worth looking at.
Infusions, Decoctions and Tinctures Without the Guesswork
Leaf and flower go into an infusion: 1 to 2 g per 250 ml, water just off the boil, lid on for 10 to 15 minutes. Bark, root and woody vine need a decoction instead, so simmer 5 to 10 g in 500 ml for 20 to 40 minutes and top the water up as it reduces. Tinctures are the patient option, 1 part dried material to 5 parts 40% spirit by weight, shaken daily, strained after 2 to 4 weeks. Go gently with Wormwood, it turns properly bitter past the 10 minute mark and honey doesn't rescue it.
The Mint-Family Corner and Other Names People Get Wrong
Searches for "intoxicating mint" usually mean plants in the Lamiaceae family, and we carry a handful: Wild Dagga (Leonotis leonurus, flowers), Klip Dagga (Leonotis nepetifolia, leaf and flower), Marihuanilla (Leonurus sibiricus, herb), Catnip (Nepeta cataria, leaf) and Skullcap (Scutellaria galericulata). Elsewhere in the range, the names worth knowing are Calea zacatechichi (Dream Herb, leaf), Heimia salicifolia (Sinicuichi, leaf), Zornia latifolia (Maconha Brava), Artemisia absinthium (Wormwood, leaf and flowering tops) and Papaver somniferum (Poppy, seed). We don't stock yopo, so if that's what brought you here, the nearest things on the shelf are Hawaiian Baby Woodrose and Morning Glory seed.
Dark Jar, Dry Cupboard, Latin Name on the Label
Dried herb holds its smell for roughly a year in an airtight jar away from sunlight. Blue Lotus and Lavender fade first, and once the aroma has gone the brew tastes like hay. Seeds want the opposite treatment, cool and bone dry, and Kanna seed keeps well in a paper envelope in the fridge. Label everything with the Latin name, because shredded Mulungu and shredded Mimosa look identical after a few weeks in the cupboard.
What You're Actually Buying
Every item here is dried botanical material or viable seed, sold for study, collecting, gardening and infusion, not as food or medicine. We make no health claims, and the ratios above are brewing guidance, not doses. With anything psychoactive, set and setting matter more than quantity, so stay somewhere familiar and start low. If you want one thing to begin with, take dried Wild Lettuce over the Wild Lettuce seed pack, unless you genuinely enjoy the gardening half.
Frequently asked questions
- What's the difference between the herbs and the seeds in this category?
The herbs are dried plant material sold by weight, so bark, leaf, root and flower ready for infusions, decoctions or tinctures. The seeds are for sowing, like Kanna, Khat, Ma Huang, Ashwagandha and the cactus seed such as San Pedro and Peyote. A few plants appear as both, Wild Lettuce being the obvious one.
- Can you make an infusion from the seeds themselves?
Most seed packs here are meant for the pot of soil, not the teapot, so the honest answer for things like Kanna, Khat and the cacti is no. If you want something to brew today, go for dried material like Blue Lotus petals, Mulungu bark or Banisteriopsis caapi. Morning Glory and Hawaiian Baby Woodrose are the two seeds people ask about most, and both come with their own advisory notes on the product page.
- How do I make a tincture instead of a tea?
Use 1 part dried material to 5 parts 40% spirit by weight, in a sealed jar out of the light. Shake it once a day and strain it after 2 to 4 weeks. Woody things like bark and vine benefit from the longer end of that window, while leaf and flower are usually done in a fortnight.
- Do you sell yopo seeds?
No, yopo isn't part of our range. The closest seeds we carry are Hawaiian Baby Woodrose (Argyreia nervosa) and Morning Glory (Ipomoea tricolor), and on the dried side people usually look at Jurema Preta root bark or Banisteriopsis caapi vine.
- Which of these plants are easiest to grow at home in the UK?
Ashwagandha and Wild Lettuce are the forgiving ones. Ashwagandha germinates indoors, moves outside after the last frost and is ready in about six months, while Wild Lettuce can be sown straight outdoors and germinates in 10 to 20 days, even in cold soil. Kanna is doable as a houseplant but the seed needs a week of soaking first, and the mescaline cacti are a long-term project rather than a season's work.
