A tomato seed and a peyote seed want almost nothing in common. One germinates in a week on a warm sill and is finished by autumn. The other takes years and would rot in the same compost. Both are on this page, along with the rest of our full botanical and ethnobotanical range, so here is what each part of it actually asks of you.
Cactus seed is tiny and slow, and that puts most people off before they start. It should not. The technique is the same for all of them: a peat-based cactus compost, very high humidity until the seed splits, then ventilation before mould gets there first.
The forgiving one, and the one we would start with. It germinates readily in a humid propagator and is the fastest grower of the mescaline cacti we stock. Peruvian Torch, Bolivian Torch and Trichocereus macrogonus sit beside it on the cactus seed shelf, and the Prickly Pack gathers all five at 20 seeds apiece with cactus nutrients included.
Slower again, and worth being honest about: this is a multi-year plant, not a season. Aztekium ritteri is slower still and tops out around five centimetres, throwing small pink and white flowers through summer. Both propagate best from seed, which is the whole reason they are here rather than as plants.
Papaver somniferum and Eschscholzia californica are the two poppies, and they are not interchangeable. The first is the opium poppy, a hardy annual whose seed carries no alkaloids at all. The second, the California poppy, is grown for the colour: blue-green foliage, orange and red flowers that close at night. Mucuna pruriens is the velvet bean, a fast tropical legume whose pods are covered in fine hairs that itch, so wear gloves at harvest. Ephedra viridis, Green Mormon Tea, is the desert shrub of the group. More of the same shelf sits under psychoactive plant seeds and exotic seeds.
Match the packet to the time you have. Some hard-coated seed comes up better after a spell in the fridge, a trick growers call stratification, while the cacti want warmth and damp instead. Nothing here needs special kit beyond a propagator lid or a freezer bag.
| What you sow | First sign of life | What it needs |
|---|---|---|
| Alfalfa sprouts | About 5 days | Jar, 8-10 hour soak, rinse twice daily |
| Mizuna microgreens | A few weeks to cutting | Damp compost, indoors, early spring on |
| Coffee plant | Around 50 days | Warmth, steady moisture, indoors |
| San Pedro | 1-3 weeks | Cactus compost, humidity, then airflow |
| Kiwi | 2 weeks in a sealed bag | Damp paper, then pots, fruit at 4-6 years |
Everything on this page goes out in plain packaging with quick UK delivery, and the packets keep well in a cool dry drawer if you sow half now and half next year. If you want the whole edible end of the range rather than the rare stuff, that shelf is the shorter walk.
Both want a peat-based cactus compost, very high humidity until the seed splits, then ventilation straight away. Skip that last step and the seedlings damp off. San Pedro is the quicker and more forgiving of the two.
The seeds of Papaver somniferum do not. They are the same seeds you find on a bread roll. What we sell is seed for growing, not a preparation of any kind.
In plain, unbranded packaging, quickly. Nothing on the outside says what is inside.
