I am buying summer seeds from abroad

Post by khabbab »

Hi everyone,

I am thinking of buying following summer flowering seeds from http://summerhillseeds.com

- Rudbeckia Cherry Brandy
- Zinnia Giant Cactus Mix
- Coreopsis rosea American Dream
- Mandevilla sanderi
These make around 15$.

They are offering free shipping on purchase of 30$ or more. Those who are interested to join me by buying from them (will save shipping cost), can PM me.


Regards,
Muhammad Khabbab

I have a bad experience with them, placed two orders in 2010, none reached my place... though Robin there communicates in a very polite manner and always ready to help...

i am intrested in importing caladiums for the summers but cant find them on the web pages mentioned, can anyone suggest a good site with reasonable rates for importing caladiums, the size of the caladiums bulbs available in lahore last year was disappointing.

Germination in fall was good. In spring, nothing sprouted yet. Do you recommend them?
