Ursula’s 2006/2007 seeds
(updated March 2007)
Spring is close! Plan your new gardens with the freshest seeds available, since I live in the Southern Hemisphere (late Summer down here) and new species are being added as soon as available.
Please check my latest additions. You will find some amazing species!
Click on the links that will take you to useful sowing/growing information and pictures in DG’s Plant Files. Don’t forget to scroll down and read the ‘Comments’ section. You might also want to check the following web pages for additional information: Tom Clothier, The Seed Site and Thompson and Morgan.
Please feel free to contact me about any additional information you might require, as well before as after purchasing my seeds and remember that these seeds were harvested late 2006/early 2007 (Summer in the Southern Hemisphere), so if you want to sow them in the Northern Hemisphere in Spring, they will require (especially the High Andean species) a cold treatment.
From the Central Valley (Metropolitan Area), Z9b:
Alonsoa meridionalis (20+ seeds for US$3)
Do not allow children/pets to play with these seeds, as they contain a muscle relaxing component.

The above listed plants have their natural habitat in Central Chile, which is a Mediterranean Climate (like California). This means we have little rainfall during Autumn and Spring. Winter rain is moderate compared to other areas. We also have some non-lasting superficial frost. The plants listed above are probably hardier than just to our zone 9b. Good drainage is a must.
From Northern Chile/Atacama Desert:

Zoellnerallium andinum (12 seeds for US$3)
http://web.ujf-grenoble.fr/JAL/chili/imag-PO/lilia.jpg
The plants listed above are native to the Chilean portion of the Andes Mountains, and grow at altitudes between 2400 to 3000m above sea level. They are all perennials except for the two Schizanthus species. I can only guarantee they are hardy to at least a zone 6b, because that is the climate where they grow. However, they *COULD* be even hardier. Once the Winter snow has melted, they get very little water from Spring rain and even less during Summer. Good drainage is a must, except for Mimulus luteus and Calceolaria biflora that love ‘wet feet’. Do not over water the other species.

Minimum seed-order is 3 packages.
Postage is US$3.50 for up to 10 seed packages, regular airmail (can take as much as 2 weeks!).
I have tested ‘priority mail’ by mailing two different envelopes for the same person, the same day, one ‘priority’ and the other just regular airmail. Both arrived the same day. This was tested on three occasions, so I do not think it’s worth paying more for ‘priority’ mail.
If you want your seeds to be sent via registered airmail, please add US$1.50 (i.e., US$5 for postage of up to 10 seed packages).
I will not send more than 10 seed-packages (plus bonus) per mailer, in order to be able to use regular airmail rates; otherwise, the PO would apply ‘small parcel’ rate and charge for a minimum of ½ Kg.
Seeds will be sent in new bubble mailers and they will be wrapped in aluminum foil before being placed in their bags.
BONUS: for every 10 packages ordered (each worth U$3 or more or a total order of US$30 or more), you will get a surprise bonus package (valued at US$ 3). If your order exceeds US$50 (not including postage) you will get an additional Bonus of either 2 seed-packages valued at US$3 each or one seed-package valued at US$5; these seeds will be of YOUR CHOICE (please ask for availability).
I have a Business PayPal account (accepts credit cards and checks)
Please order via Dave’s Garden-mail or southwind_cl@yahoo.com , indicating ‘Seed Order’ in the reference.
