Buying guide: Seeds & Plants

Seeds: quality and legal status

Seed quality is described by germination rate, purity, variety identity and the date of testing. Ask for the lot test results and the packing or test date, since germination falls with age and poor storage. Many countries regulate commercial seed, requiring variety registration, labelling and a lot number, and some varieties are protected by plant breeders' rights or sold under licence terms. Check the rules for your market before importing or repackaging. Hybrid varieties do not breed true, which matters for customers who save seed. Treated seed carries chemical labelling and handling conditions.

Plants, bulbs and cuttings

Live plants, bulbs, bare-root stock, cuttings and young plugs are perishable and sensitive to transport time, heat and cold. Ask for the grower's plant passport or health certificate, and check whether a phytosanitary certificate is required for import. Many markets restrict the import of soil, certain species and plants carrying pests, and invasive species may be banned. Confirm the rules for your market and the supplier's ability to provide documentation.

Seasonality

Timing is the main business risk. Vegetable and flower seeds sell in late winter and spring, bulbs sell in autumn for planting or spring for summer flowering, and bare-root trees and shrubs ship in the dormant season. Missing a window can leave you holding stock until next year, and seed that is held loses vigor. Order early, but plan storage and delivery dates to match your selling window.

Storage and handling

Seed should be kept cool, dry and sealed, and humidity is the main enemy. Packs left in warm shops lose germination. Live plants need light, water and a suitable temperature on arrival, so check how they are packed and how fast they reach you. Ask about shipping method, transit time and the supplier's policy for plants that arrive dead or damaged.

Pack sizes

Retail seed is sold in small packets in display boxes or racks, sometimes with a set mix of varieties, while commercial and market gardeners buy bulk by weight or by thousand seeds. Bulbs come by size grade and count. Check count per packet, and bulb size grade, as this affects flowering.

Margins and risk

Seed packets have good markup and low spoilage if kept dry, while live plants have higher loss and need quick sell-through. Mislabelled varieties and poor germination cause customer complaints and returns.

Questions to ask a supplier

  • What are the germination rate and test date for this lot?
  • Are variety and purity guaranteed, and are there licensing restrictions?
  • Which plant health documents come with the shipment?
  • How are live plants packed, and how long is transit?
  • What is the policy for losses in transit?
  • Is there an early-order window for the season?

Frequently asked questions

What should I check on seed quality?

Ask for germination rate, purity and the date of the test for the specific lot. Seed loses vigor over time, so the test date matters.

Do I need paperwork to import plants and seeds?

Often yes. Many countries require plant health or phytosanitary documents and restrict certain species, so check the rules for your market.

When should I order seeds and bulbs?

Order before the selling window, such as late winter for spring seed and early autumn for bulbs. Late orders can leave you with limited choice or stock held over.

How should seed packets be stored?

Keep them cool, dry and sealed, away from heat and damp. Humidity is the main cause of lost germination.

How do I check that a wholesale supplier is legitimate?
