Sakata Sweet Melon is a unique Japanese variety of melon with edible skins. Sakata Sweet Melon is a vining plant that produces small round fruit, approximately 7 to 10cm in diameter. Sakata Sweet Melons are crunchy, juicy, and high in natural sugars. Harvest your Sakata Sweet Melons when the fruit skin starts to turn from pale green to yellow, and the leaves of the vine start to die off. Ensure that your melons are cut from the vine, as if the stalk breaks at the joint of the melon, the flesh could become exposed and your melon can start to rot.

This Honey Dew Melon variety produces fruit with a thick, lime-green flesh. Fruit can grow up to 20cm round or 2.5kg in weight. The fruit rind is thin, smooth, and pale in appearance. Honey Dew Melon is a vining plant, so make sure to allow this variety plenty of room in your garden. Once harvested, Honey Dew Melon fruit can be stored for several months.

To maintain seed viability, please store your Early Rosella seeds in the fridge.

Early Rosella is a unique annual bush that produces deep-red fruits called calyces. Rosella fruits look like fleshy, unopened flowers. These fruits can be harvested to make jams, relishes, and teas, or they can be eaten raw. Rosella fruits start off as hibiscus-like flowers. Once the Rosella flowers die off, the fruit is left for harvesting. Rosellas like fertile, well-draining soil, but they can handle a range of soil types. Rosella plants need a minimum of 6 months of warm weather to grow and produce properly (we are looking at you South-East Queensland!). This variety of rosella can grow up to 2m high. Early Rosella plants are extremely low-maintenance, but for best results prune after your first heavy harvest (this is usually in summer).

Our Cactus Species Mixed seeds contains five species of perennial cacti species. Cacti are a fantastic, extremely low-maintenance way to add greenery to your house or garden. Cactuses can grow in poor soil conditions — in fact, they love sandy or rocky soil. Cactuses also don't need to be watered often. They actually prefer to stay dry! 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.

Barrel Cactus (Ferocactus sp.) — Barrel Cactuses are large and attractive individual barrel-shaped stems. The flowers of a Barrel Cactus are small but generally form a ring around the tip of the cactus. Barrel Cactuses have ridges that run vertically down the stem, and are covered with both long and short spines.

Arizona Barrel Cactus (Ferocactus wislizeni) — Arizona Barrel Cactuses are usually a singular, cylindrical shaped cactus. Rarely does this variety have multiple stems. The Arizona Barrel Cactus has between 15 to 30 ribs with small groupings of spines running down each rib. Similar to other Barrel Cactuses, the Arizona Barrel Cactus produces a ring of flowers around the tip of its stem.

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). Genova Basil is also said to be the most popular variety for pestos. Basil has medicinal properties, antibacterial properties, and can help repel mosquitos from your home!
