Where To Get Flower Seeds:

[chanchao]

This came up in the Chiang Mai local forum, thought I'd share it with everyone here.

http://www.afmgroup.com is a Chiang Mai based company selling high quality imported flower seeds. I think they also do mail order.

Things are stored and packed in a climate controlled environment so you should get a very high percentage of seeds that 'work'.

Ask them about which types of flowers work best in which seasons/conditions, or google... Of course not all varieties enjoy blazing hot temperatures followed by a massive downpoor. You'd mostly sow them in trays, then replant in gardens, baskets, etc.

Cheers chanchao!

Have you had success with them before?

Yes I've seen their operation up close. They also used to have a trial/test farm where I've been. Looks quite spectacular when they get ready for the local flower festival and they plant just about their whole catalog. I'm not a huge gardener myself to put it mildly, but now that we employ SuperMaid who seems to be able to do absolutely anything home/garden related I'll have her have a go.
