Imported seed packs bring named vegetable, herb, flower and ornamental varieties from international seed brands to Pakistani home gardens. The collection includes Italian tomatoes and peppers, unusual vegetables, perennial herbs, seasonal flowers and seeds for quick indoor growing.
Choose each packet according to the plant’s preferred temperature and your available space. The sowing months printed on an international packet may reflect a different climate, so local weather remains the best guide for planting in Pakistan.

The brand name identifies the company that packed the seed. Plant selection should still begin with the growing season, mature plant size and conditions available in the garden.
Tomato Choices
Imported tomato packets include familiar round tomatoes and varieties selected for distinctive fruit shapes or colours.
Pomodoro Costoluto Fiorentino produces deeply ribbed tomatoes with a traditional Italian appearance. Pomodoro Red Pear and Yellow Pear Tomato provide pear-shaped fruits in different colours. Brandywine Yellow is selected for larger yellow tomatoes, while Saint Pierre produces a more familiar rounded red type.
Tomatoes need warmth, direct sunlight and consistent moisture during flowering and fruit development. Start them in a seedling tray, then move one established plant into each large final container.
Allow enough time for the seedlings to develop before severe heat arrives. Flowers may drop when temperatures become extremely high, even when the plant remains green and healthy.
Explore more tomato varieties for cherry, slicing, coloured and ribbed tomato seeds.
Pepper Choices
The collection includes sweet and hot pepper varieties with different shapes, colours and kitchen uses.
Corno di Toro Giallo develops long yellow peppers, while Giallo D’Asti is selected for broad yellow fruits. Soroksari, Lombardo and Goccia D’Oro offer additional European pepper forms. Jalapeño and Cayenne are useful choices for gardeners interested in hot peppers.
Pepper seeds need warmth to germinate and can emerge more slowly than many leafy vegetables. Start them in separate tray cells where moisture and temperature are easier to manage.
Move each seedling into its final pot after it has developed several true leaves and a firm stem. Avoid disturbing the roots during transplanting.
Browse chilli and pepper seeds for sweet, hot, coloured and ornamental varieties.
Other Vegetables
White Wonder Cucumber provides a light-coloured cucumber type for trellises and sunny beds. Like other cucumbers, it grows quickly in warm soil and benefits from support before the vines begin spreading.
Kohlrabi Green and Sugarloaf Chicory are cool-season choices. Kohlrabi forms an enlarged stem above the soil, while Sugarloaf Chicory develops upright leafy growth. Both perform more comfortably during mild weather than during severe summer heat.
Asparagus is a long-term vegetable that develops a permanent crown and root system. It needs patience and a settled position because established plants remain in the same bed for several years.
White Asparagus is not produced by a completely different growing species. The pale spears are created by excluding light as they emerge. Gardeners who allow the shoots to grow in sunlight should expect green growth.
Herbs and Flowers
Spearmint and Peppermint can be grown in separate pots where their spreading roots are easier to manage. Regular cutting encourages fresh leafy stems during active growth.
Hyssop, Angelica, Valerian and Ruta Rue are less common imported herbs. Their growth rate, preferred season and uses differ, so check the individual product page before sowing or using any harvested part.
True Lavender prefers bright sunlight, airflow and fast-draining soil. It establishes most comfortably during mild weather and can struggle where its roots remain wet during rain or frequent watering.
Campanula and Forget-Me-Not suit mild conditions and are usually started for winter or spring flowers in warmer Pakistani cities. Snow on the Mountain is grown for its green and white ornamental foliage.
Ornamental Corn needs the space and sunlight of a full-sized corn plant. Several plants grown together in a small block have a better opportunity for wind pollination than isolated plants.
Mizuna Microgreens can be grown in a shallow tray and harvested at the young leafy stage. A packet intended for microgreens normally supplies enough seed for denser sowing than a packet intended for a few mature garden plants.
Read Packets
Imported packets may show planting months, temperature guidance, plant height and spacing based on the brand’s home market. Match that information to Pakistan’s seasons instead of following the printed month without considering local heat.
The full product name can also reveal useful details:
-
Pomodoro means tomato on Italian packets.
-
Peperone identifies a pepper.
-
Giallo refers to yellow colouring.
-
Imported - Limited Stock describes availability through a limited shipment.
-
The stated seed count or packet weight shows the approximate quantity supplied.
Keep the original packet until the seedlings are clearly identified. It provides the brand, variety name and other information that may be useful later.
Sowing Time
In Lahore, Faisalabad, Islamabad and Rawalpindi, start cool-season imports such as Kohlrabi, Chicory, Campanula and Forget-Me-Not from September through November.
Tomatoes and peppers can be started from January through March. Another sowing can begin during July and August as the most intense summer heat starts easing. Protect young seedlings from heavy monsoon rain.
In Karachi, begin cool-season vegetables and flowers from October through December. Tomatoes and peppers can be started from August through October and again from January through February.
In southern Punjab, October and November suit mild-weather herbs, vegetables and flowers. Start tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers during January and February, with another opportunity during July and August if seedlings can be protected from heat and heavy rain.
In colder northern and hilly areas, cool-season imports can be started from August through October or from March through April. Sow frost-sensitive tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers after nights become reliably mild.
Indoor microgreens can be grown during much of the year when the tray receives airflow, suitable light and protection from extreme room temperatures.
Starting Seeds
-
Fill a labelled seedling tray or small pots with loose seed-starting mix.
-
Sow each variety at the depth stated on its product page, giving fine seeds only a light covering.
-
Water gently and maintain even moisture without leaving the mixture saturated.
-
Give emerging seedlings bright light and airflow so their stems develop firmly.
-
Move established garden seedlings into final containers or beds after several true leaves appear.
Tomatoes, peppers, Kohlrabi, Chicory and most flowers are easier to supervise in separate tray cells. Cucumber can be sown directly or started in an individual cell and transplanted while still young.
Fine herb and flower seeds need careful watering so they are not displaced. A loose seed starter mix provides a more even surface for germination.
Pots and Beds
Use one tomato or full-sized pepper plant in a container approximately 14 to 18 inches wide and deep. A 10 to 15 gallon grow bag also provides useful root space.
White Wonder Cucumber needs a container around 14 to 18 inches wide and a firm trellis. Place the support beside the plant early so the growing vine can be guided upwards.
Kohlrabi and Chicory can be arranged in wide planters according to the mature spacing stated for the variety. Thin crowded seedlings before their leaves begin overlapping heavily.
Mint grows comfortably in a pot around 10 to 12 inches wide. Lavender, Angelica and other longer-lived herbs benefit from separate containers suited to their mature size.
Use shallow trays with drainage holes for Mizuna Microgreens. A growing layer around 1.5 to 2 inches deep is usually enough for the short period before harvest.
Asparagus performs best in open ground or a large, deep container that can remain undisturbed. Ornamental Corn also needs an open bed or a very wide container holding several plants.
Plant Care
-
Sunlight: 6 to 8 hours for tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, corn and most flowering plants
-
Soil: Loose growing mixture with drainage and organic matter
-
Watering: Maintain steady moisture while allowing excess water to leave the container
-
Feeding: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer during active garden growth
-
Spacing: Follow the mature size of the selected plant
-
Support: Provide cages, stakes or trellises for tomatoes, cucumbers and tall plants
-
Labels: Keep varieties and sowing dates clearly marked
Inspect new leaves for aphids, whiteflies, mites and caterpillars. During rainy weather, remove damaged foliage and maintain space around the plants so leaves can dry.
An imported packet does not require a special style of care simply because it came from another country. A tomato still follows tomato care, while a Campanula or Kohlrabi should be grown during the season suited to that plant.

FAQs
Why do imported packets contain different seed quantities?
Packet size depends on the seed brand, seed size, variety and packaging format. Some packets are prepared for a small home garden, while microgreen packets contain more seed for dense tray sowing. Check the quantity stated in the product title before ordering.
What should I do if the packet instructions are not in English?
Use the complete variety name to find the correct product page and growing guidance. Keep the packet for identification and contact Moji Mall if an important instruction or label is unclear.
Can seeds be saved from imported vegetables?
Seeds may be collected from healthy open-pollinated plants after the fruit or seed head matures fully. Seeds saved from hybrid varieties may produce plants with different fruit colours, shapes or growth habits.
Are all imported herbs suitable for everyday kitchen use?
No. Imported herb collections can include culinary, ornamental and traditionally used medicinal plants. Identify the species and confirm its intended use before consuming any part of the plant.
How should an opened packet be stored?
Close the packet securely and place it in an airtight container in a cool, dry and dark location. Add the variety name and opening date if the original label could become separated or damaged.
