Hoodia gordonii Seeds
These extremely rare succulent
(not cacti) seeds are very difficult to come by.
A packet of 10 seeds was auctioned on eBay for $69.
I am offering a limited quantity
of hoodia gordonii seeds for sale now. There may be a slight delay
in posting your order as the demand will be high.
This feedback came from a
customer of mine. He purchased 10 seeds and had 10 seedlings
germinating. (I was shocked, that was excellent)
About the quality of my hoodia
gordonii seeds.
When I purchase my hoodia seeds I sort through all the seeds and
cull at least a third of the seeds out. I only send seeds I would be
happy of purchasing myself. Unfortunately the seeds that are send to
me are not always the quality I like to see. So maybe I shouldn't be
surprised that this customer had such a good success, considering
that I only send the best seeds.
