Seeds are only available when the desert allows. Our collection originates across arid regions of Africa, where flowering, pollination, and fruiting occur in brief, climate-driven windows.

Custom exploration is fieldwork, not an automated backorder. We say that because we take sourcing seriously—the ethics & resulting harvest.

We prioritize requests with clear taxonomic references, realistic quantities, flexible timing, and enough value to justify scouting, travel, permits, processing, and U.S. import coordination. If a request is workable, we send a budget proposal and timing estimate. A deposit reserves the search and is applied toward the order if the collection is successful.

We do not pursue CITES-listed material, and we pass on requests that cannot be collected responsibly or in useful volume. When an exploration does move forward, it also strengthens local knowledge, propagation, and conservation infrastructure in the landscapes where these species belong.
