  Not to be mistaken with wild rocket which Seeds for Africa also stock, it is used as a leaf vegetable, which looks like a longer leaved and open lettuce. It is rich in vitamin C and potassium. It is frequently cultivated, although domestication cannot be considered complete. It has been grown in the Mediterranean area since Roman times, and is considered an aphrodisiac. Before the 1990s it was usually collected in the wild and was not cultivated on a large scale or researched scientifically. In addition to the leaves, the flowers (often used in salads as an edible garnish), young seed pods and mature seeds are all edible. It is now cultivated in various places, especially in Veneto, Italy, but is available throughout the world. It is also locally naturalised away from its native range in temperate regions around the world, including northern Europe and North America. It has a rich, peppery taste, and has an exceptionally strong flavour for a leafy green. It is generally used in salads, often mixed with other greens in a mesclun, but is also cooked as a vegetable or used raw with pasta or meats in northern Italy. The perfect garnish for the popular Carpaccio dish. This herb is easy to grow and prolific.   Please familiarise yourself with the shipping info below Shipping Rates are as listed below Approximate processing and transit times are listed below PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT SHIP OUTSIDE OF SOUTH AFRICA

Echinocactus is a genus of 6 species in the Cactaceae family native to south western United States and Mexico. The generic name comes from the Greek word echinos, meaning 'spiny', and cactus. Together with Ferocactus, they are the two genera of barrel cactus. The species in this genus have some noticeably distinguishable features, such as large spines, well defined ribs, an overall barrel shape with relatively small, yellow or pink flowers being borne out of an area at the apex of the plant that is covered in a dense fuzzy wool, followed by woolly, fleshy or dry fruits. Propagation is by seed.           The most well known, easily grown and widely cultivated species, Echinocactus grusonii, or Golden Barrel cactus, is nearly extinct in the wild and only occurs in a very small area, which contrasts from the rest of the genus in that the rest of the genus are more widespread and less common in cultivation. Echinocactus polycephalus for example, is notoriously difficult to grow. Echinocactus species can be grown as pot plants and make interesting features on a sunny veranda. They also make an attractive addition to a rockery or water-wise garden. Echinocactus grusonii is probably one of the best known species of cactus and is widely cultivated. Sadly it is almost extinct in nature occurring only in a small area in central Mexico from San Luis Potosi to Hidalgo. Common Names include, Golden Barrel Cactus, Golden Ball or, amusingly, Mother-in-Law's Cushion. This species should not be confused with Notocactus leninghausii which have fuzzy, harmless spines and is also called Golden Ball. As the common name suggests, they are round, spherical, or barrel shaped. They have many well defined ribs lined with large sharp spines which are yellow to white in colour. Younger plants do not resemble older plants in that the ribs are not noticeable and look more like knobs in younger plants. When plants are about 20 years old, they will start to produce small yellow flowers from the fluffy crown. Cultivation is best done from seed and they are considered to be easy to grow. The plants are also relatively fast growing in cactus terms. It is a popular architectural plant in garden design and is used widely in landscaping. They should be watered very sparingly in winter and must not be allowed to sit in wet soil, otherwise they will rot. As with most cacti they require a well drained sandy soil to grow in.  

Passiflora, known also as the passion flowers or passion vines, is a genus of about 500 species of flowering plants, the namesakes of the family Passifloraceae. They are mostly vines, with some being shrubs, and a few species being herbaceous. A number of species of Passiflora are cultivated outside their natural range for their beautiful flowers and delicious edible fruit. Hundreds of hybrids have been named; hybridizing is currently being done extensively for flowers, foliage and fruit. Most species have round or elongated edible fruit from 5cm to 20cm long and 2.5cm to 5cm across, depending upon the species or cultivar.         Passiflora will adjust to any kind of soil, except desert conditions or very alkaline soil. Prefers full sun but will do with a light place or even half-shade. Passiflora need abundant watering during the growing season. In winter watering can significantly be reduced but good soil moisture must be maintained. Passiflora edulis is a vine species of passion flower that is native to Brazil, Paraguay and northern Argentina. Its common names include Passion Fruit, Passionfruit and Purple Granadilla. It is cultivated commercially in tropical and subtropical areas for its edible sweet, seedy fruit and is widely grown in several countries of South America, Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, Southern Asia, Israel, Australia, Hawaii and United States. The passion fruit is round to oval, either yellow or dark purple at maturity, with a soft to firm, juicy interior. The fruit is both eaten and juiced; passion fruit juice is often added to other fruit juices to enhance aroma.

ANISE - PIMPINELLA ANISUM Growing Anise Sow directly in the garden after all danger of frost has passed.  Give this plant plenty of room as it will grow about 60cm tall.  Thin the seedlings to about one every 40cm when they have two true leaves.  The tall fern like plant will have lots of flowers if treated well. Water and fertilize normally.  This plant is originally from the Mediterranean, where it has been cultivated for hundreds of years.  Pliny and Theophrastus mention the plant.  Now it is cultivated widely. The leaves, flowers, and seeds have a licorice taste and are harvested for use in flavoring breads and other foods.  The seeds are harvested just before they are completely ripe.  This is where the essential oils concentrate. Anise, like licorice, can raise the blood pressure, so be cautious when using this herb.  If you bake a lot of sweets, however, you may wish to grow this herb to flavor them.  The seeds can be soaked in vodka and the resulting liquid used sparingly as the flavoring agent.  Alternatively, you can take the seeds and dry sugar and store them together in a tightly closed container and the oils will penetrate the sugar and flavor that.  You can then add the flavored sugar to your treats.     CLICK ON SHIELD TO VIEW OUR OTHER ITEMS:

Lophospermum is a genus of herbaceous perennial climbers or scramblers, native to mountainous regions of Mexico and Guatemala. Those that climb use twining leaf stalks. Their flowers are tubular, in shades of red, violet and purple, the larger flowers being pollinated by hummingbirds. Now placed in the greatly expanded family Plantaginaceae, the genus was traditionally placed in the Scrophulariaceae. The close relationship with some other genera, particularly Maurandya and Rhodochiton, has led to confusion over the names of some species. Lophospermum erubescens and Lophospermum scandens are cultivated as ornamental plants, as climbers or trailers. Lophospermum species are herbaceous perennial climbers with fibrous roots.         They climb by means of twining leaf stalks (petioles) rather than tendrils or twining stems. The long stems are branched, becoming woody at the base with age. In some species the stems grow from a woody caudex – a swollen, bulb-like structure at the base of the stem. The leaves are triangular or heart-shaped with a pointed apex and toothed edges (crenate or dentate). Both stems and leaves may have a purplish colour. Lophospermum erubescens, known as Mexican twist or creeping gloxinia, is a climbing or sprawling herbaceous perennial, native to the Sierra Madre Oriental mountains of Mexico, where it is found along forest margins or canyon walls. It climbs by means of twining leaf stalks. Wild plants have pink and white tubular flowers, although other colours are found in cultivation. It has been cultivated as an ornamental plant since at least 1830. Although not frost-hardy, it will survive if its base and roots are protected from freezing in the winter.

  Grown for the mustard seeds. The plant is believed to be native to the southern Mediterranean region of Europe and possibly South Asia where it has been cultivated for thousands of years. The spice is generally made from ground seeds of the plant, with the seed coats removed. The small (1 mm) seeds are hard and vary in colour from dark brown to black. They are flavourful, although they have almost no aroma. The seeds are commonly used in Indian cuisine, for example in curry, where it is known as rai. The seeds are usually thrown into hot oil or ghee, after which they pop, releasing a characteristic nutty flavour. The seeds have a significant amount of fatty oil. This oil is used often as cooking oil in India. In Ethiopia, where it is cultivated as a vegetable in Gondar, Harar and Shewa, the shoots and leaves are consumed cooked and the seeds used as a spice. The plant itself can grow from two to eight feet tall, with racemes of small yellow flowers. These flowers are usually up to 1/3" across, with four petals each. The leaves are covered in small hairs; they can wilt on hot days, but recover at night.

  Nepenthes popularly known as tropical pitcher plants or monkey cups, is a genus of carnivorous plants in the monotypic family Nepenthaceae. The genus comprises roughly 140 species, and numerous natural and many cultivated hybrids. The greatest diversity occurs on Borneo, Sumatra, and the Philippines, with many endemic species. Many are plants of hot, humid, lowland areas, but the majority are tropical montane plants, receiving warm days but cool to cold, humid nights year round. A few are considered tropical alpine, with cool days and nights near freezing. The name "monkey cups" refers to the fact that monkeys have been observed drinking rainwater from these plants. Nepenthes species usually consist of a shallow root system and a prostrate or climbing stem, often several metres long and up to 15 m (49 ft) or more, and usually 1 cm (0.4 in) or less in diameter, although this may be thicker in a few species (e.g. N. bicalcarata). From the stems arise alternate, sword-shaped leaves with entire leaf margins. An extension of the midrib (the tendril), which in some species aids in climbing, protrudes from the tip of the leaf; at the end of the tendril the pitcher forms. The pitcher starts as a small bud and gradually expands to form a globe- or tube-shaped trap. The trap contains a fluid of the plant's own production, which may be watery or syrupy, and is used to drown the prey. Research has shown this fluid contains viscoelastic biopolymers that may be crucial to the retention of insects within the traps of many species. The trapping efficiency of this fluid remains high, even when significantly diluted by water, as inevitably happens in wet conditions. The lower part of the trap contains glands which absorb nutrients from captured prey. Along the upper inside part of the trap is a slick, waxy coating which makes the escape of its prey nearly impossible. Surrounding the entrance to the trap is a structure called the peristome (the "lip") which is slippery and often quite colorful, attracting prey, but offering an unsure footing. Above the peristome is a lid (the operculum); in many species, this keeps rain from diluting the fluid within the pitcher, the underside of which may contain nectar glands which attract prey. Prey usually consists of insects, but the largest species may occasionally catch small vertebrates, such as rats and lizards. There are even records of cultivated plants trapping small birds. The pack will contain a mix of lowland and hybrid nepenthes species.   Please familiarise yourself with the shipping info below Shipping Rates are as listed below Approximate processing and transit times are listed below PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT SHIP OUTSIDE OF SOUTH AFRICA

Dyckia brevifolia Seeds Common Names: Pineapple Dyckia - Pineapple Bromeliad   Dyckia brevifolia or Pineapple Dyckia as it is commonly known is a stemless, succulent, terrestrial bromeliad, native chiefly to Brazil and Argentina. It flowers during summer and bears 7mm long sulfur-orange to yellow flowers. It does best in full sun to light shade, with night temperatures of °C and day temperatures of 20°C or higher. Pot in a lime-free compost consisting of 2 parts peat moss to 1 part loam to 1 part sharp sand or perlite. Allow the potting mix to become moderately dry between thorough watering. Fertilize every 2 weeks with a balanced fertilizer diluted to ½ strength recommended on the label. It is propagated from the new shoots that appear at the base of the plant. Dyckia is a genus of the botanical family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Pitcairnioideae. The genus is named after the Prussian botanist, botanical artist and horticulturist The Prince and Earl of Salm Reifferscheid-Dyck (). Dyckias, with stiff and thorny leaves, prefer rocky and/or sunny areas and have a natural tendency to clump leading to thick, large mats. The subfamily Pitcairnioideae contains several "terrestrial" members of the Bromeliaceae, with cultivated genera including Dyckia, Hechtia, Pitcairnia and Puya. Considered to be the most ancient lineage of bromeliads, they are endemic to arid and high-altitude regions of Brazil and the central part of South America.  You're buying a pack of 10 Seeds We'll supply you with all the germination & care instructions.

Cynara is a genus of 10 species of thistle-like perennial herbs, shrubs and trees in the aster family, Asteraceae. They are native to the Mediterranean region, northwestern Africa, and the Canary Islands. The genus name comes from the Greek kynara, which means artichoke. Cynara cardunculus is being developed as a new bioenergy crop in the Mediterranean because of its high biomass and seed oil yields even under harsh conditions.           The globe artichoke, Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus, is a variety of a species of thistle cultivated as a food. The edible portion of the plant consists of the flower buds and their stems when harvested before the flowers come into bloom. The plants usually bear several flowers. The uncultivated or wild variety of the species is called a cardoon. It is a perennial plant native to the Mediterranean region. Large globe artichokes are frequently prepared by removing all but 5–10 mm or so of the stem. To remove thorns, which may interfere with eating, around a quarter of each scale can be cut off. To cook, the artichoke is boiled or steamed. The core of the stem tastes similar to the artichoke heart, and is edible. Salt may be added to the water if boiling artichokes. Leaving the pot uncovered may allow acids to boil off. Covered artichokes, particularly those that have been cut, can turn brown due to the enzymatic browning and chlorophyll oxidation. Placing them in water slightly acidified with vinegar or lemon juice can prevent the discoloration. Leaves are often removed one at a time, and the fleshy base eaten, with hollandaise, vinegar, butter, mayonnaise, aioli, lemon juice, or other sauces. The fibrous upper part of each leaf is usually discarded. The heart is eaten when the inedible choke has been peeled away from the base and discarded. The thin leaves covering the choke are also edible.
