Japanese seed shop online 2014/11/23 09:01
Hi people,
I was about to buy a plant in Japan last time but learned it was not allowed to bring it into my country like that.

Anyway. Seeds however is a different matter (with some exceptions).

Do you know of any Japanese online store shipping abroad (non English is fine) selling seeds from Japanese trees, flowers, etc?

I have seen some at Amazon but unfortunately no abroad shipping.

Regular common flowers or vegetable seeds are less of interest though.

You can often buy Japanese vegetable seed varieties on ebay.

In general, vegetable varieties are bred for local climatic conditions with resistance to local diseases.

Some named plant cultivars/hybrids will not come true from seed (some don't even produce seed). Plants can be imported with the relevant documentation-you could ask a specialised local nursery to import something specific for you.

Specialised seed companies in your own country may sell varieties that are native to Japan. Google using the Latin name of the plant, which is the best way of identifying it, and will be used by professional seed suppliers.

There are plenty of Japanese ebayers who will obtain pretty much anything for you if you ask them to, but check import restrictions first.
