Collection: Seeds & Bulbs

For a kitchen garden, pick vegetables or herbs you use often, like dhania, spinach, chillies, lettuce, basil, and tomatoes. For flowers, choose by season, colour, height, and space. Some varieties are better for pots, while others need more room to climb, trail, or spread.

In Pakistan, season matters. Cool-season seeds usually perform better from autumn to early spring, while heat-loving seeds are better for spring, summer, and monsoon sowing. Choosing the right seed for the right weather helps improve germination and growth.

FAQs

Which seeds should I buy as a beginner?
Start with reliable vegetables or herbs like spinach, dhania, lettuce, basil, and chillies. For flowers, marigold, zinnia, cosmos, morning glory, and sunflower are usually easier choices.

Should I start seeds in trays or sow them directly?
Small or delicate seeds are often easier to manage in seedling trays. Larger seeds and fast-growing crops can usually be sown directly in pots, beds, or grow bags.

How should I store leftover seeds?
Keep leftover seeds in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture. Reseal the packet properly or store it in an airtight container to help maintain viability.

Why do seeds sometimes fail to germinate?
Common reasons include wrong sowing season, too much water, poor drainage, deep sowing, low-quality soil, or unsuitable temperature. Always match the seed with its preferred season and conditions.
