Cactuses are long-lasting, hardy, and will put on a beautiful display when they flower. Cactuses are fantastic little houseplants. Pop them in a miniature colourful pot, place them in a sunny position, then set and forget!

Our Cactus Species Mix contains random quantities of the following seed varieties:

Saguaro Cactus (Carnegia gigantea) — The Saguaro Cactus is a tall, skinny, tree-like cactus that form branches (otherwise known as 'arms'). The spines of the Saguaro Cactus are small and white. This variety of cactus produces strong-scented white flowers at the top of the stems and the cactus arms in the late spring.

Golden Barrel Cactus (Echinocactus grusonii) —  The Golden Barrel Cactus is a short, round-shaped cactus with long golden spines. The colour of cactus is pale- to lime- green and they sprout bright yellow flowers in late spring.

Strawberry Cactus or Hedgehog Cactus or Strawberry Hedgehog Cactus (Echincereus enneacanth) — The Strawberry Hedgehog Cactus is affectionately named after the lifeform it resembles. The Strawberry Hedgehog Cactus can form small clumps of 100 (or more) individual stems by the time it reaches maturity. In the summer, these stems develop large, show-stopping, bright pink-purple (or 'strawberry') coloured flowers.

Cherokee Wax Beans are a dwarf bush bean variety that produces pale yellow, stringless bean pods. This bean variety does not require a trellis, but we do recommend a stake to support the beanstalk as it grows. Cherokee Wax Beans prefer well-draining soil and they will need a sunny spot in your garden to reach their full potential. Ensure you harvest your beans regularly throughout the growing season because this will encourage your plant to grow more! Cherokee Wax Beans are best eaten when young, as they are sweet and tender.

Blue Lake Beans are climbing variety that produce long, green, stringless bean pods. Blue Lake Beans are a hardy, high yielding plant that can grow up to 1.8 metres tall (so you will need a trellis!). This variety of bean can do well in most types of soils, can be planted in the sun or in partial shade, and does not require a lot of fertiliser (as bean plants can fix nitrogen from the air only fertilise when tending to deficiencies). Unlike some other bean varieties, the bean pods of Blue Lake Beans remain tender even after they are finished growing — so they can be left on the plant until you are ready to harvest.

Genova Basil is an annual herb that produces aromatic, medium-green leaves that grow around 5 to 8cm long. These leaves boast a strong, peppery flavour and a vibrant fragrance. Genova Basil plants can grow between 50 to 70cm tall and are relatively slow bolting compared to other varieties — this makes Genova Basil great for growing in hotter climates. Try adding the basil leaves to a pasta sauce, flavouring some oil or chop finely and sprinkle over your roast potatoes (yes, roast potatoes.. trust us).
