Baneberries and Bugberries (including the formerly separate genus Cimcifuga) are almost unknown wood plants from moist and humus 

rich soils in the northern hemisphere with some 25 species at present. They make racemes of small white flowers on long stalks above 

most ornamental dissected (feathered) and serrated leaves. Flowers are followed by very decorative bright colored berries in summer to 

autumn. All are long-lived perennials, once established do not disturb plants. 

Two red fruiting species are very difficult to be distinguished in nature: Actaea erythrocarpa Fischer and Actaea rubra (Aiton) Willd. In 

general Northamerican plants of Actaea rubra have slightly broader leaflets and a laxer infrutescence than East Asian plants of Actaea 

erythrocarpa. As even scientist are not sure if both forms are to be treated as separate species, we do not follow either this difference and 

offer all seeds under Actaea rubra. 

Sow flat from early autumn to early spring in any moist, yet well drained soil. Transplant rootstock in autumn after leaves have died down. 

Sometimes seeds make take up to two years to germinate successfully. They require a cooling period of several months prior to 

germination.

Actinidia or Kiwi Fruit are perennial, mostly deciduous, fast growing Asian climbers with ornamental foliage. Their whitish flowers are 

followed by sometimes quite large fruits ripening in autumn and which are edible in several species. As several species are strictly 

dioecious (i.e. female and male flowers are born on different plants), various young plants should be grown together until their first 

flowering, after which one male plant should be kept for about two to three female plants. All Actinidia species grow well in any rich, well 

drained soil in a sunny spot. In the first years some winter protective mulch layer is recommendable. 

Sow seeds flat in any rich, well drained soil. Keep pots in a sunny spot protected from permanent freezing outside during winter. All 

species require a cooling period of several months prior to germination. Keep young plants preferably frostfree for the first two years at a 

minimum of some 5°C in winter with reduced watering. Transplant seedlings in spring before the leaves emerge as soon as they are large 

enough to handle.

Aeonium hierrense 

(El Hierro Giant Houseleek) 

Exclusivo 

50 (100)cm, El Hierro Giant Houseleek is a very impressive monocarpic species native to sunny spot in 

rocky soils on the island of El Hierro. A species with leaves and a stem more than twice the size as the 

already very huge Aeonium urbicum! Its single rosette has beautiful glaucous (i.e. bluish green) leaves 

with some red patterns in full sun and may reach up to 1m ø (!) or even more in well-developed 

specimens with leaves up to 0.40 m in length, which makes this species, if only by its size, one of the 

most impressive ones in the entire genus. Its inflorescence is similar to Aeonium urbicum, yet only 

broader. Makes thousands of almost pure white tp pale rose flowers. Easily cultivated in any rich, well 

drained soil in a sunny spot throughout the year. In winter keep slightly drier at a minimum of some 10°C

Aeonium simsii 10cm ø, by first sight one might think that Aeonium simsii belongs to the family of Sempervivum, as this 

species has dense, perfectly round rosettes with plenty of offsets as well. But the bright yellow flowers, 

which appear in June/July reveal that it is indeed an Aeonium. Leaves' margins are densely ciliated as in 

Aeonium smithii. Aeonium simsii is one of the few species in this genus which cannot be convinced to 

grow on in summer and to have a rest in winter, thus it requires a very sunny location and careful watering 

in winter. Rosettes will close completely in summer and unfold in autumn. Plants are endemic to the 

central mountain areas of Gran Canaria. Cruz de Tejeda (at some 1.200 m).

5°C at night in its habitat during winter, but supposedly not winter hardy in Europe, unless cultivated in an 

unheated green-house, providing shelter from excessive humidity. Very unusual species as stems and 

leaves are highly succulent, densely covered with white hairs. Bright yellow flowers in June/July. This 

species requires extra drainage and careful watering, and is best grown in pure grit sand or lava.

Agave (Winter Hardy Century Plants) 

All Century Plants offered on this page are native of southwestern USA and northern Mexico and reputedly winter hardy in Central Europe. 

However please note that we cannot give any warranty that these will indeed prove winter hardy in your local climate ! The cultivation of 

century plants outside in temperate climates is still in a more or less experimental phase, thus, if you would like to be on the safe side, 

grow these in pots and move pots outside in summer. All species have ornamental, succulent leaves in a cup-shaped basal rosette and an 

upright inflorescence on mature specimens. All winter hardy species can be successfully grown in any very well-drained, preferably rocky 

soil with protection from winter rains, which is essential for a successful overwintering plants outside in the garden, as winter wetness will 

inevitably lead to rotting in most species. Keep plants completely dry from end of September and cover with a protective glass frame. All 

species will die after flowering and either reproduce by offsets or (in few cases only) by seeds. Most plants are slow growing, yet very 

robust and long lived. Alternatively, plants can be grown in pots under frostfree conditions throughout the year. In winter keep pots in full 

sun completely dry at some 5°C to 10°C. 

Sow seeds flat in pots at some 20°C to 30°C throughout the year in any rich, very well drained soil. Cultivate seedslings in pots under 

frostfree conditions for at least 2 years. After that carefully transplant young plants to the garden at the end of spring. Excellent in a 

protected spot in the rock garden.

Corncockle is a small genus with only 2 species: the larger Agrosthemma githago from Asia Minor and the smaller Agrostemma gracile 

from Farsala in central Greece. Both species are fast growing annuals to biannuals with linear leaves on tall upright stems crowned by 

several showy pink flower cups from early to mid summer. Easily grown in any rich, well drained soil in full sun. 

Sow seeds flat directly to the ground in any rich, well drained soil in spring. Plants greatly dislike to be transplanted, thus leave 

undisturbed. Will readily selfsow under appropiate conditions. In a mild winter seedlings will survive outside if they are not burnt by strong 

freezings. Alternatively collect some seeds in summer to be sowed in following spring.

Aichryson (Mice Ears) 

"Oreja de Ratón" (Mice Ears) are called most plants of this small genus by the Canary people. They are close to Aeonium in the family of 

Crassulaceae and grow in rather shaded and slightly moist places in the laurel or pine tree forest on the islands. They make lose racemes 

of several hundred sulfur to greenish-yellow, miniature star like flowers above usually densely pubescent succulent leaves. All are easily 

cultivated in any rich, slightly moist soil in a sunny to partially shaded spot throughout the year. Require careful watering and preferably full 

sun in winter. Will readily self-sow after flowering, when most plants will die down. For more cultivation information please have at look at

Leadplants or Prairie Shoestrings are perennials with ornamental feathered leaves on woody branches and terminal, dense, long spikes of 

unusually dark coloured flowers. Most species are native of open grasslands, such as the tall-grass regions and prairies in North America. 

They prefer a very well drained, slightly sandy or rocky soil and are best planted in full sun. 

Sow flat in any well drained, preferably sandy soil. Keep pots in a sheltered spot outside during winter. Transplant young root stock after 

leaves have withered in late summer to early autumn.

Amorphophallus (Titan Arum) & Taccarum 

We are proud to host the broadest private Amorphophallus collection throughout Europe and the second largest private collection 

worldwide with more than 140 different species in our cultivation at present! 

Titan Arums include several species with some of the largest flowers within the floral kingdom. They usually develop only a single, large 

leaf on a stout stem, which may resemble a tree-trunk in giant species. Taccarum species from South America have an overall similar 

habit, yet they usually develop several leaves per plant in one growing season and the inflorescence differs from those of Amorphophallus. 

All make a long rhizomatous or a round corm (a "tuber"), weighing up to 60kg in their largest member, namely Amorphophallus titanum 

from Sumatra. The offered subtropical species remain a little bit more manageable for their overall smaller size. They will thrive in any 

humus rich, well drained substrate (with up to 70% peat or any other humus rich substrate added). As soon as they start to grow (usually 

in spring) they require sufficient warmth with a minimum of some 20°C and a semi-moist soil in a partially shaded spot. As soon as the 

leaf starts to yellow (which is usually in autumn), keep plants rather dry at a minimum of some 15°C. Store corms in a warmer spot with 

beginning of spring the following year and carefully restart to water as soon as the new leaf appears from the center of the corm. With 

maturity plants may form an inflorescence instead of a leaf. After flowering most specimens will usually form a new leaf in the same year. 

Please note that plants marked as "flowering size" in the shop do not necessarily flower the year of potting, but are mature plants for their 

weight. For their decorative foliage, unique growth habit and outstanding inflorescences all Amorphophallus species are perfect collector's 

items, however only some 10 species are more widely available. At present more than 210 different species are known and several new 

discoveries are made each year. Most species are exremely rarely offered in the trade and thus high-priced botanical gems. Plants (i.e. 

dormant corms) are usually available between September and May. 

For further detailed information on sowing and cultivation of Titan Arums (Origin, Habit and General Information - Cultivation - Propagation 

by Seeds - Popagation by Offsets & Leaf Bulbils - Propagation by Leaf Cuttings - Pests and Diseases), please have a look on this page: 

http://www.amorphophallus.info/index.htm"The Genus Amorphophallus" (www.amorphophallus.info). 

All offered tubers descend from cultivated plants! We do not offer wild collected tubers and strictly discourage our clients in buying such 

plants, which may have been exported illegally in some cases. In several aroid species wild populations are decreasing alarmingly due to 

professional wild collections in habitat. Neither do we sell imported tubers from Asia which might be infected with several serious pests 

and might have been stored under totally inappropriate conditions. Wild collected as well as imported tubers you may find at various 

selling platforms at probably lower prices, but these imported plants will never reach the quality of our tubers! If you see a picture of a 

tuber with some white dustlike cover on it, then it is an imported tuber. In order to receive a plant health certificate for export from local 

authorities in India and Thailand, tubers have to dusted with some white fungicide. 

At present we are propagating a very good selection of tuber-forming aroid species within the following genera: Amorphophallus, 

Anchomanes, Ariopsis, Arisaema, Arum, Biarum, Colletogyne, Dracontium, Dracunculus, Gorgonidium, Helicodiceros, Pinellia, 

Pseudohydrosme, Spathantheum, Taccarum, and Typhonium. A full list of what may become available next autumn is available on this 

page: http://www.rareplants.de/shop/page.asp?id=Aroids"Amorphophallus, Arisaema, Arum, Dracontium and Typhonium in propagation". 

We do not propagate these species at large scales and from the rarer aroids very few tubers will be available. Please note, that we do not 

take backorders nor reservations. Thus please bookmark this page and come back to us in the course of late summer and autumn to 

check availability of tubers and seeds. 

Price is given per package (3 seeds) or per dormant corm (diameter given in ø cm or length given in cm). 

Note: All corms are available for a delivery within Europe only ! Seeds are shipped worldwide. For Non-European customers only: We do 

ship dormant tubers outside Europe, provided that all risk is upon the buyer. We do not issue any phytosanitary certificate, which is 

officially required for most countries. We kindly ask you to check with your local import regulations before placing an order!

Columbines are floriferous perennials from usually fresh open spots in woods, montane meadows and rock crevices. Most species will 

readily grow in any humus rich, slightly moist soil in partial shade or full sun. Several dwarf subalpine species require a very well drained, 

preferably slightly rocky soil and are best grown in a protected spot in the rock garden. 

Note: In this utmost diverse genus it is extremely difficult to precisely separate species, as well as to distinguish its numerous subspecies, 

varieties and forms from each other with precision, not to mention that all plants easily hybridize. Our seed derives from mother plants 

which fit by their habit to the type description. However we cannot guarantee that all species are absolutely correctly named nor that seeds 

do not include some hybrids. We cultivate all closely related species separately from each other, however please note that all seeds derive 

from open pollination. If you would like to maintain pure lines we strongly recommend to continuously check your cultivated plants and to 

remove all plants which do not correspond to the species as soon as flowers start to open in spring. 

Sow flat on any humus rich, well drained soil. Only slightly cover seeds, keep pots in partial shed and soil always slightly moist from 

beneath. Seeds need a cooling period of several months prior to germination. If they are sowed too late, they may take another winter 

before they will germinate in following spring. Germination occurs at a minimum of some 10°C in autumn or spring. Transplant young 

plants in late autumn or early spring as soon as they are strong enough. Most species will start to flower the following year after sowing. 

With appropiate conditions most columbines will moderately selfsow.

Arisaema (Cobra Lilies) 

Dragon Plants or Cobra Lilies have their main distribution in Asia (China), only few species occur in North America. They are aroids which 

are rather new to public cultivation and only about ten (out of some 200) are sometimes available at specialized nurseries. All Arisaema 

species offered on this page will be successfully grown in the open garden where they receive enough moisture in summer and are 

sheltered from moisture in winter. They are summer green and winter dormant. Plant depth of the tubers or corms is three times their size. 

Sow seeds in any rich peaty, well drained soil at some 25°C. Germination is irregular and might start well after only some 2 weeks or may 

need up to 3 months and more. If seeds have not germinated after three months, keep pots outside in a protected spot during winter. 

Seeds will then germinate by the end of following spring. Keep seedlings in their pots for at least two years in a partially shaded spot. Stop 

watering by mid September or as soon as leaves start to yellow. In cold regions it is recommendable to unpot dormant young tubers and to 

store them dry in the fridge at some 5°C to 7°C during winter. Repot tubers in early spring. 

For detailed information on sowing and cultivation of Cobra Lilies please have a look at this website: http://www.arisaema.info/index.htm 

"The Genus Arisaema" (www.arisaema.info) 

All offered tubers descend from cultivated plants! We do not offer wild collected tubers and strictly discourage our clients in buying such 

plants, which may have been exported illegally in some cases. In several aroid species wild populations are decreasing alarmingly due to 

professional wild collections in habitat. Neither do we sell imported tubers from Asia which might be infected with several serious pests 

and might have been stored under totally inappropriate conditions. Wild collected as well as imported tubers you may find at various 

selling platforms at probably lower prices, but these import plants will never reach the quality of our tubers!

Babiana 


€ 4,99 

Babiana are bulbous plants native of western southern Africa, especially Namaqualand and the Western Cape. Most species make short 

and broad iris like leaves with prominent veines and showy bright colored flowes in shades of violet-blue, pale yellow or scarlet. All species 

are easily grown in any rich, well drained soil in full sun throughout the year. During dormancy keep plants rather dry and in winter at a 

minimum of some 10°C with watering reduced to a minimum. Excellent in a frostfree greenhouse or wintergarden, for their small to 

medium tall size they can be grown in rather small pots on window sills as well. Most species will already gain flowering size within one 

year. 

Sow the small seeds on top of any well drained substrate and cover them slightly with sand. Keep pots in full sun at some 20°C 

throughout the year and soil always slighly moist from beneath. A temperature drop at night down to some 10°C to 15°C will siginificantly 

enhance germination in several species.

Swamp Marigold from North America are mostly winter hardy, tall growing perennials with numerous large, bright sulfur yellow flowers in 

mid summer. They are native of humus rich, semi-moist soils in prairies, open spots in woods and along side rivers. Cosmos species are 

native of Mexico to South America. These are non winterhardy and prefer rather dryish soils and are grown as annuals. All are easily 

grown in any rich, well-drained soil in a sunny to partially shaded spot, Mexican species in full sun. 

Sow seeds of winterhardy species flat in any rich, well drained soil. Keep pots in a sunny, protected spot outside. Most species require a 

cooling period of several months prior to germination. If these species are sowed late in the year, they do not germinate before spring in 

the following year. Transplant to the final spot in the garden from mid summer to early autumn. Annual Mexican members should be 

sowed directly to the ground after the last freezing nights by the end of spring.

bright pink seed capsules with deep lilac seeds give have some additional ornamental value in 

July/August. Offered seeds are from unhybridized, true to type specimens with pure yellow flowers! 

Please note: Offered rhizomes are from our mother plants and they have multiple flower respectively leaf 

buds as described below. You will not find similar large plants anywhere else! Several longer storage 

roots will have to be cut by half for transport, however plants have sufficient reserves to grow well next 

spring. As is the case in all peonies, plants may not open flower buds in the first year after transplanting. 

However they will show a magnificent display from the second year onwards after they established. IV-V.

Camptoloma is a small genus in the foxglove family (Scrophulariaceae) and consists of only three species native of the Canary Islands, 

North Africa and Arabia Peninsula. They are small, woody plants with succulent, pubescent leaves and Geranium-like white to whitishrose 

flowers in terminal racemes. They prefer a rocky, stony, free-draining soil in a sunny spot. In winter reduce watering to a minimum 

and keep plants at a minimum of some 15°C in full sun. 

Sow dust like seeds flat on any well drained soil in a sunny (in winter) to partially shaded spot (in summer). Keep seedlings always slightly 

moist from beneath.

Campylanthus is a small genus with some beautiful, shrubby members. Campylanthus salsaloides var. salsaloides is endemic from the 

succulent and xerophytic shrub zone on all Canary islands and grows as a medium sized, semi woody shrub with bowing stems densely 

covered with linear, slightly succulent, glossy leaves and terminal racemes of bright lilac flowers. Easily grown as a pot or container plant 

in any well drained, rocky soil in full sun throughout the year. Keep plants drier in winter in full sun and at a minimum of some 15°C. If 

plants are becoming too large, they can be cut back easily in early spring. 

Sow small, paperlike seeds on any very well drained, rock-sandy soil. Do not cover seeds with soil and place pots in a sunny spot 

throughout the year. Keep seedlings only slightly moist from beneath and carefully transplant to larger pots after the second pair of leaves.

Canary Bell Flower is a beautiful and easily grown herbaceous perennial climber for any rich, peaty soil, which should be kept always 

moist as long as plants are in leaf. Keep soil almost completely dry as soon as plants go dormant from mid summer to early autumn. Plant 

will start new, fast growth with lower temperatures alongside a higher air humidity in autumn. 

Sow seed flat on any very humus rich, well drained soil. Do not cover seed and keep pots always slightly moist from beneath in a partially 

shaded spot. Ideal temperature for germination is in between a minimum of some 15° (night) to a maximum of some 25°C (day). In several 

Canary plants higher temperatures will slow down or even inhibit germination ! Young seedlings are growing rather slowly, as soon as 

fourth pair of leaves appears they grow rapidly, especially from autumn to spring. In summer keep in partial shade, in winter in a sunny 

spot at a minimum of some 10°C. 

Price is given per package (20 seeds) or per dormant rhizome (length in cm).

summer to late spring) carefully water from beneath and keep plants sunny in a frostfree spot at a minimum of some 5°C. As soon as 

leaves start to yellow in late spring, keep soil almost completely dry and store pots in a shaded spot until new growth starts.

Canna 

Canna have annual foliage which emerges from perennial, fleshy rhizomes. They are heavy growers for any rich, leafy and slightly moist 

soil. Very ornamental due to their large, banana-like foliage and clusters of funnel-shaped flowers which are born throughout the summer. 


Sow at a minimum of some 20°C in any rich soil. Will start to flower the second year. Unpot rhizomes in autumn as soon as foliage has 

died down and store in a dry and cool place until end of spring. These are the real, unhybridized species, which naturally make elegant 

and smaller flowers. 


Canna glauca 180cm, native of wetlands and marshes in subtropical regions of the US. Makes ornamental bluish-green 

leaves and spidery pale yellow flowers, sometimes with an orange red throat. Easily cultivated in any 

humus rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot during summer. In winter keep the dormant, fleshy rhizomes 

in a cool, yet frost free spot. What is usually sold as Canna glauca in the garden trade, these are yellow 

flowered forms from Canna indica. We offer seeds from the real species with glaucous leaves. V-VIII.

Caper plants are small, spreading shrubs, eventually reaching one meter in height. Their flower buds are picked before they open and 

conserved in vinegar and salt (caper) and widely used in the Mediterranean cookery. The nice flowers are born on first-year branches. 

Young plants should preferably be grown under frostfree conditions, where they should be kept drier, very sunny and cooler at minimum 

5°C in winter. Older, mature plants with a wooden rootstock may be planted in a rocky soil, very well drained in full sun in a protected spot 

in the open garden (e.g. at the bottom of a south facing wall). 

Prior to sowing soak seeds for 48h in warm water, then sow flat in any well drained, rather rock soil in full sun at 20-25°C. Germination in 

this genus is irregular. Keep seedlings always sunny in a slightly moist soil. Ideal pot plants in a cool, sunny wintergarden.

Capsicum cv. (Ají, Chili, Green Pepper, Habanero & Jalapeño) 

Ají, Chili, Green Pepper, Habanero and Jalapeño all belong to a single genus (Capsicum) which is native of tropical regions in the 

Americas. Capsicum species are annuals to short lived perennials or woody sub-shrubs and have been cultivated for centuries for their 

spicy fruits. Fruits of most species contain a chemical substance (Capsaicin), which causes a slight to extremely strong burning 

sensation in the mouth, depending on the cultivar and variety. There have been several attempts to define spiciness in these cultivars and 

varieties, yet even fruits from the same cultivar may contain a different amount of Capsaicin. Thus some fruits may show a slight spicines 

only and may very well serve to add some hot flavor to various dishes, whereas others from the same cultivar may be too hot to be eaten. 

On grounds of this, we do not give any information on supposed spiciness of each cultivar, but strictly sell these as ornamental plants 

only! Any use for human consumption is upon the risk of the buyer! All Capsicum cultivars are easily grown as annuals in any humus rich, 

slightly moist soil in full and at a minimum of some 20°C (optimal 27°C). In colder regions these plants should be grown under glass in a 

greenhouse to set fruits, for plants do not endure prolonged cool and/or rainy periods. 

Only non-floating seeds with embryonic tissue inside are selected and all cultivars are offered at only € 0,99 per package with a minimum 

of some 20 seeds each. You will hardly find elsewhere these cultivars at a lower price and with our quality! In order to keep prices low, we 

will not provide any additional information on most cultivars. If you do need some more detailed information on certain cultivars, check out 

some other specialized webshops. And once you will have compared prices as well, we are sure that you will come back to us to order 

these seeds from our shop! 

Sow seeds flat in any well drained, humus-rich soil. Keep soil slightly moist and pots at some 25°C. Germination will start between one to 

two weeks and seedlings are fast growing, provided sufficient warmth and light.

Earth Almond belongs to the sedge grass family (Cyperaceae) and is native of moist spots in eastern Africa. It has long been cultivated in 

ancient Egypt for its edible storage rhizomes and is nowadays widespread in the tropics and subtropics. It makes short, narrow, 

channeled leaves and numerous pea-sized to almost almond-sized underground rhizomes in summer. Raw rhizomes have a chestnut-like, 

crispy taste, roasted they develop an almond like flavor and may be used as a side-dish. In Spain it was introduced by the Arabs and 

makes a traditional drink in the Valencia region, called "Horchata de Chufas". The small rhizomes do not need to be peeled, but should be 

thoroughly rinsed with water in order to wash off adherent earth and fine roots. This species is easily cultivated in any humus-rich, 

preferably slightly sandy soil with sufficient watering in summer. It should best be kept in large pots, as this species is very invasive in 

warm as well as temperate climates. In late summer to early autumn leaves die down, during winter keep the dormant rhizomes almost 

completely dry at some 5°C, pot again in mid spring.

Dendroseris (Robinson Crusoe Islands' Cabbage Trees) & Robinsonia 

Robinson Crusoe Islands' Cabbage Trees are members of the daisy or sunflower family (Asteraceae) and endemic to the Juan Fernández 

islands in the southeastern Pacific. This archipelago is located some 400km off the southwestern coast of Chile. They are amongst the 

rarest plant species in the world and several species are threatened by extinction for severe grazing of introduced animals and ongoing 

destruction of their natural habitat. In general they have a similar habit to the however not closer-related 

http://www.rareplants.de/shop/prodtype.asp?strParents=70&CAT_ID=255&numRecordPosition=1Sonchus species (Giant Sow Thistles) 

from the Canary islands. They occur in a comparable habitat with permanently stable, rather cool temperatures throughout the yearw 

which lead to a convergent evolution. Most Dendroseris and Robinsonia species make a woody, branching stem with sometimes very 

large, ornamental leaves and terminal umbels of white to yellow or rich orange flowers. All offered species are excellent, easily cultivated 

pot or container plants for any rich, well drained soil in a sunny (winter) to partially shaded (summer) spot. In winter keep plants drier at a 

minimum of some 10°C with a good air ventilation. Dendroseris and Robinsonia are nothing but unique and utmost showy plants which are 

extremely rare in cultivation and seed is just as rare to obtain as are plants in nature. 

Sow flat on any humus rich, very well drained soil in a sunny spot at some 20°C (maximum 25°C) throughout the year. Thinly cover seeds 

with soil. After germination move seedlings in partial shade (summer) to full sun (from autumn to spring). Keep slightly drier and very 

sunny in winter at a minimum of some 10°C. Seedlings will grow very fast in most Dendroseris and Robinsonia species and may reach 

flowering size within five years (Dendroseris pinnata within 10 years).

Dierama is a S African native genus closely related to Iris. Gives many excellent garden plants with showy flowering stalks of flowers in 

brightest colors. Most will grow from rhizomes with plenty of flat, iris-like leaves. Leaves from evergreen species will die at temperatures 

below -10°C, but will emerge again in late spring (April). For any well drained and humus-rich soil in a sunny spot. All will flower freely if 

grown as pot plants under cool, yet not necessarily frostfree, conditions in the wintergarden or unheated greenhouse. 

Sow late spring in any well drained soil in full sun. Best if pre-cultivated under frost-free conditions for two years. Keep pots frost free at 

max. 10°C in winter. Transplant young corms rather deep in late spring of the second year. A thick layer of dry mulch as protection is 

recommended for younger plants during winter in Central Europe.

Dodecatheon (Shooting Star) 

Shooting Stars are exclusively native to North America where they grow in leafy and slightly moist soils in woods or meadows in partially 

shaded to sunny spots. Their light green and large leaf rosettes are similar to those of primroses (Primula spp.), yet much larger. From the 

center arise one to several stalks crowned by dense umbels of beautiful pale rose to deep lilac flowers with recurved, cyclamen-like petals 

and nicely contrasting yellow anthers. Dodecatheon is a very difficult genus in what concerns a correct identification of species, as many 

are very similar. Besides, several species are very variable in height and flower color. We believe to offer seeds from correctly identified 

plants only. All shooting stars will go dormant in summer and rest in the hot season as a perennial rootstock. 

Sow seed flat on any humus rich soil from autumn to spring. Do not cover seeds and place pots in a shaded and protected spot outside 

during winter. Always keep soil slightly moist from beneath as long as plants are green. Transplant rhizomes during dormancy from late 

summer to mid autumn.

Canary Dragon Tree and other Real Dragon Trees are most ornamental evergreen plants which are very robust and may reach several 

hundred of years. These living fossils are easily cultivated in any rich, well drained soil in a sunny to partially shaded spot in summer. 

During winter they should be kept almost completely dry at a minimum of some 10°C, when plants will stay dormant. At higher 

temperatures in winter plants require careful watering in full sun. With time these fascinating succulents make a massive treelike trunk 

and several dense crowns of long leaves. Only 7 species are known at present, out of which two occur on the Canary Islands (Dracaena 

draco and the extremely rare, only recently discovered new species Dracaena tamaranae from Gran Canaria), one in SW Morocco 

(Dracaena draco ssp. ajgal), and four in eastern Africa (Dracaena cinnabari on the island of Socotra offshore Yemen, Dracaena ombet in 

Egypt and Sudan, Dracaena schizanta in Somalia and Djibuti, and Dracaena serrulata in Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Oman). Except for the 

commonly cultivated Dracaena draco all other Dracaena species are extremely rare in cultivation and seed is simply inobtainable, so 

please do not ask us for seed! Our stock of plants is more than limited and once these plants are sold out, it may take several years if not 

decades before they might become available again! 

Sow seeds at a minimum of some 20°C throughout the year in any rich, well drained, slightly moist soil. Keep seedlings in a very sunny 

spot. The seeds germinate during a period of several weeks (the minimum are some four weeks).

Echium (Canary Islands' Giant Burgloss) 


€ 4,99 

Endemic perennials growing either as a woody shrub or making a huge rosette (Echium auberianum, Echium pininana, Echium simplex, 

and Echium wildpretii). These are very different in habit from their Mediterranean annual or biannual relatives. Excellent plants for 

cultivation in pots or small containers. Keep plants sunny throughout the year, especially in winter. They make impressive, very large 

inflorescences, sometimes containing several thousand flowers each. Grow well in any well drained, rather inorganic soil (e.g. crushed 

lava adding some humus). 

Sow seeds rather flat some 0.5cm deep in some 10cm ø plastic pots. Seeds do not need direct sun to germinate properly, however it is 

recommended to not cover seeds too much. Seeds usually cannot be extracted from their dried capsules without destroying them, thus 

the entire capsule shall be sowed. Each capsule may contain up to 4 small, nut-like seeds. All Echium species require a significant 

difference between day and night temperature. Keep pots in a cool spot with direct sun, so that during the day the soil heats up to some 

20°C to 25°C. At night temperature should fall to some 5°C to 10°C. Germination may be inhibited in most species if pots are kept 

constantly warm (e. g. in a heated propagator). Keep plants frostfree in winter at a minimum of some 10°C in an always sunny spot. Under 

cool conditions reduce watering to a minimum, unless grown under heated glass. Usually most species will gain flowering size within 3 to 

4 years. 

Aviso: Most Echium species make strong seed-capsules, which contain up to four seeds each. These capsules naturally will not shed 

their seeds until they fall on the earth. They cannot be separated beforehand without destroying the seeds. From these species 20 

capsules (i.e. up to 80 semillas por sobre) will be delivered. Treat the entire capsule as a single seed. Prick out and separate seedlings as 

soon as they appear.

100 (180)cm, tall, evergreen shrub with a woody base and narrow, ascending branches. Native to moist, 

partially shaded spots in the laurel forest region of Madeira, very rare in its habitat (e.g. Caldeirao Verde at 

some 920m). Originally included in Erysimum bicolor from the Canaries, yet as it is quite different in 

various aspects, it merits a species rank. Among others it is a hexaploid species. Makes strongly 

serrated, long lanceolate leaves and white to purplish-pink flowers. For any humus rich, slightly moist soil

All Eucalyptus or Gum Trees offered here descend from high elevation populations of Tasmania and Australia. They are frost resistant to 

a minimum of at least -7°C/20°F in the first year of sowing already and derive from especially well selected cold hardy, cultivated strains. 

All are ideal container plants for any well drained, rocky to sandy soil in an always sunny spot. Pure humus is not suited as it may 

negatively affect the rooting system. All plants for which a hardiness of some -10°C/15°F is given below (equivalent to USDA Climate 

Zone 8), may be sufficiently winter hardy in Central Europe in normal winters and may be tried in the open garden in a sheltered and sunny 

spot from their third year after sowing (around May) at an height of at least some 30cm. In a very cold winter with an extended permanent 

freezing period some branches and even thicker stems may occasionally die down, however plants usually will resprout from the stem's 

basis in late spring. In winter an insulating thick dry mulch layer arount them basis is recommended in order to prevent the root system 

from freezing through. 

Sow flat on any rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot at a minimum of some 20°C. If seeds do not germinate within 6 weeks, place pots in 

the refrigerator for some 6 weeks at roughly 5°C, then move pots to a warmer spot again. For several high elevation species this cold 

treatment enhances germination significantly. Keep seedlings very sunny in their first two winters in a frostfree spot with reduced watering 

at a minimum of some 5°C. Transplant to the garden in late spring of their third year or cultivate as pot plants throughout the year.

Gladiolus comprises some of the most beautiful and easy to cultivate flowering bulbs, preferring rather inorganic soil which should be kept 

rather dry in winter and moist in spring and summer. Some are winter growing in nature (several South African species) and will lose 

leaves at low temperatures in winter, but will emerge again in late spring. Species with a hardiness of USDA 7 or 8 are best cultivated as 

pot plants in a cool greenhouse or wintergarden, thus they will prove as free flowering. All species with a hardiness of USDA 6 are fully 

winter hardy in Central Europe without any additional winter protection. 

Sow at some 5°C preferably in spring (in pots outside) or autumn (in a cool and frosfree greenhouse). Keep pots under cool, yet frostfree 

conditions and soil always slightly moist. Most Gladiolus seed require a prolonged cooling period for several months before they will 

germinate with raising temperatures in late spring. Several species tend to have a hypogeal germination, i.e. they make a small corm 

underground in the first year before the first leaf will emerge in the second year. Pot cultivation for two years before passing on to the open 

garden, plant bulbs rather deep (some 15cm) to protect them from freezing through. In winter apply some dry mulch layer as additional 

protection measure. If plants are cultivated in pots, keep them in a cool, yet frostfree spot during winter. Winter dormant species may be 

placed in shade and soil can be kept rather dry, wintergreen plants require careful watering and full sun.

Greenovia (Mountain Roses) 

"Rosas del Monte" (Mountain Roses) as they are called by the Canary inhabitants are close relatives of Aeonium within the family of 

Crassulaceae. Some 4 species are known. All have ornamental, dense rosettes of succulent, bluish-green leaves. The sulfur-yellow, quite 

large flowers are set in late spring to early summer in a short-stemmed raceme. The rare Greenovia aizoon differs in its' blackish-green, 

pubescent leaves in a miniature rosette. All Greenovia naturally occur in rock crevices in the drier zones of Gran Canaria and all Western 

Islands and are easily cultivated in any rich, well drained, slightly stony soil in a sunny spot. They require a sunny spot in winter with 

careful watering as the main growing season is from autumn to late spring. For more information on cultivation have a look at this 

page:http://www.rareplants.de/shop/prodtype.asp?strParents=555&CAT_ID=558 Sowing and cultivation of Aeonium, Aichryson and 

Greenovia. 






Greenovia aizoon cv. 

"Dwarf Cushion" 

Greenovia aurea 

(Canary Golden Mountain 

Rose) 

4 (6)cm ø, "Dwarf Cushion" derives from a naturally ocurring hybrid between Greenovia aizoon X 

Greenovia aurea from South-Central Tenerife and has been longtime selected for its' very small and 

compact rosettes with smoothly pubescent (=hairy) dark green leaves. This beautiful cultivar makes small 

rosettes with few offsets with some 2cm to 4cm in diameter and is in appearance very close to the pure 

species. The flowering stem reaches up to 12cm and bears many golden yellow flowers. III-V.

20 (25)cm ø, Canary Golden Mountain Rose is probably the most frequently cultivated species within this 

genus and besides Greenovia diplocycla it is the largest Greenovia, gaining up to 25cm in diameter which 

in combination with its bluish and glaucous leaves makes it for sure one of the most attractive as well ! It 

is native of Gran Canaria, Tenerife, El Hierro, La Gomera, and La Palma growing in rock crevices on 

north-facing mountain slopes in the pine-tree zone at an elevation of some 1.000m through 1.900m. 

Populations from Greenovia described from La Palma belong either to a subspecies or the closely related 

Greenovia diplocycla. Greenovia aurea has rather large, creamy yellow flowers in May to June/July. 

Greenovia aurea can easily be propagated either by offsets or seeds. IV-VI.

Greenovia diplocycla 10 (20)cm ø, native to La Palma, El Hierro and la Gomera, sharing similar habitats as Greenovia aurea, 

yet growing in more open locations in the lower zone of the pine-tree forest. It is very similar to Greenovia 

aurea, yet even larger, and hardly to distinguish from the latter if not flowering. In general its' rosettes are 

slightly smaller - with exeption of populations in the northwestern parts of the Caldera de Taburiente 

(Barranco de Izcagua), where plants may gain up to 25cm in diameter. Rosettes are usually some 10cm 

to 20cm ø, light yellowish green in full sun and finely white powered, if plants are grown in full sun. During 

their summer dormancy rosettes will close cup-like and are covered with beige-red, dry leaf sheaths. The 

flowers are even larger than those in Greenovia aurea. Young leaves are ciliated at their edges 

(magnifying glasses). Plants will never form any offsets, so that propagation is only possible either by 

seeds or by leaf cuttings, of which the latter is rather difficult and not recommended for beginners. 

Originally from La Palma, Northwestern side (Barranco de Izcagua) and southern side (Barranco de Las 

Angustias) of the Caldera del Taburiente (650m), respectively La Gomera in the vicinity of Roque Agando 

and in the Barranco de Guarimar. Greenovia diplocycla is botanically a very diverse species with several 

forms and possible some varieties, so that further scientific work is required on their taxonomical status.

powdered with white wax and may gain up to 40cm in diameter. In contrast to Greenovia diplocycla its 

dormant rosette forms a perfect ball, covered in almost pure white dried leaf sheaths in summer - an 

utmost beautiful aspect! Its extraordinarily large inflorescence gains up to 30cm in height (!) and consists 

of up to 250 bright yellow single flowers from April through May/June. It occurs in only few and rather

10cm ø, "Jade Ball" derives from a naturally ocurring hybrid between Greenovia dodrantalis X Greenovia 

aurea from Western Tenerife and has been longtime selected for its' small and compact jade green 

rosettes which will almost completely fold during summer dormancy. This cultivar is slightly larger than 

the pure species, which is restricted to the far Eastern and Western parts of Tenerife with its (former) 

main location in the Barranco de Masca, where the species has unfortunately been severely depleted in 

recent years due to touristic activities and illegally collecting plants as "souvenirs". However, the cultivar is 

equally showy and makes several offsets before it will reach flowering size. Its yellow inflorescence grows

Mammoth Leaf or Giant Rhubarb is a small diverse genus of evergreen to herbaceous perenials from Hawaaii, South America and New 

Zealand. Some Gunnera species make impressively large and broad leaves (up to 2 meters in the largest member, Gunnera manicata). 

Though being of subtropical to tropical origin, some species are frost resistant and can be successfully cultivated in the garden in colder 

regions, provided that their rootsystem is given a very good winter protection (e.g. a very thick dry mulch layer). For any humus rich, 

always slightly moist soil in partial shade to full sun in a preferably protected spot. 

Sow fine seeds on top of any humus rich, well drained soil at some 20°C throughout the year in a sunny (winter) to partially shaded 

(summer) spot. Do not cover seeds with soil and keep soil always moist from beneath. Seedlings are best grown in pots under frostfree 

conditions for at least four to five years. In winter keep young, dormant plants slightly drier at a minimum of some 5°C. Transplant 

rootstock to the final spot in the garden by the end of spring.

require a peaty and moist substrate in a partially shaded spot. Will flower in autumn and grow from October to May. 

Use any humus rich, sandy soil, which shall be rather free of chalky soil for sowing. Do not cover seeds with soil. Keep in a partially 

shaded spot at some 15°C to max. 25°C. The optimal temperatures are 20°C at day and 15°C at night. Permantly high temperatures will 

inhibt germination! Always water from beneath. Keep at a minimum of some 10°C in winter and reduce watering to a minimum, unless 

grown under heated glass.

Zabala Fruit belongs to a genus made up of two South America species only. It is an evergreen vine from woods with leathery, dark green, 

slightly glossy leaves, pendulous racemes of brownish-black flowers followed by egg-shaped, edible fruits. For any humus rich, well 

drained soil in a protected and sunny spot. Plants require a climbing aid and need a very good winter protection (i.e. plastic airfoil around 

the vines and a thick dry mulch layer at the base). This species is not reliably winter hardy in Central Europe. In cold areas better grow 

under frostfree conditions in pots throughout the year. Keep plants drier in winter a minimum of some 5°C. 

Sow seeds flat in any rich, well drained soil and keep pots outside in a protected spot from mid spring to mid autumn. In winter store pots 

in a frostfree spot at some 15°C to 20°C. Seeds require a prolonged cooling (yet without frost!) period prior to germination. The

Laurus or Laurel (Bay) are evergreen large shrubs to trees with aromatic, shiny dark-green foliage, which is commonly used in cookery 

(especially Laurus nobilis from the Mediterranean). They are native of rich soils in the cloud zone of always moist spots in subtropicaltemperate 

climates with a high air-humidity. Several million years ago in prehistoric times with a more balanced climate they made up a 

very large family, widely spread on all continents, nowadays these and related families are isolated to few reminiscent relicts of laurel 

forest, e.g. in the West of Protugal, on the Canary islands and in Japan. One of the most impressive and intact laurel forest can be found 

on the Canary islands, where it is conserved in the National Park of Garajonay on the island of La Gomera. 

Sow small avocado-like seeds in any humus rich, slightly moist soil. Keep at some 20°C to 20°C. Germination will start after some 4 to 6 

weeks. Keep seedlings cooler, yet frostfree with reduced watering in winter in a sunny spot. Plants may endure slight freezing in autumn.

much finer, very exquisite aroma in contrast to the strongly scented leaves of Laurus nobilis. On grounds 

of a recent taxonomic change Laurus azorica is now restricted to the archipelago of the Azores, whereas 

former populations of this species from the western Canary islands including Gran Canaria as well as 

from the Madeira archipelago have been described as a new species, namely Laurus novocanariensis. 

Easily cultivated in any humus rich, well drained soil in a sunny (winter) to partially shaded (summer) spot.

Lilium (Lily) 

Lilies feature some of the most attractive and valuable bulbous plants known. They may stay undisturbed in the same place for years. Wild 

species usually make only small bulbs or stolons in contrast to those massive nursery raised hybrids. Few Lilium species prefer alkaline 

soil, most will do well in a well drained, humus rich soil on a peat basis. Some more adaptable Eurasian Lilium will thrive in any good soil. 

Sow from autumn to late spring (around April) in any well drained, humus rich and sandy soil, which suits for most Lilium species. Precultivation 

in pots for 2 years. Keep pots in a sunny and protected spot in winter. Transplant young bulbs in early spring. 

Aviso: Certain Lilium species (especially some of the N American Lilies) show a hypogeal germination, i.e. in the first year after sowing 

they will first make a bulblet before the first true leaf appears in spring the second year.

Ornamental Bananas are native of tropical and subtropical woods throughout Asia. They are vigorous, fast-growing species with tropical, 

large leaves and long-lasting colorful inflorescences and fruits in several species. The smaller bananas from montane regions in the 

Himalayas are excellently grown as container plants and some very cold hardy species may be even planted out to the garden in Central 

Europe (e.g. Musa basjoo and Musa sikkimensis). All are easily grown in any humus-rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot, and a winter 

minimum of some 15°C with reduced watering. Cold hardy species require a thick insulating winter protection in the garden in a fertile, 

free-draining, humus-rich soil. 


Sow in a humus- rich, sandy soil, keep pots only slightly moist at a minimum of some 22°C (optimal 27°C) throughout the year. 

Germination in this genus is very irregular and may start after some two months, whereas the last seeds may need some six months until 

the first leaves are developed.

Lotus is a relict genus with only two species with a disjunct distribution: The Asian Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera, including Nelumbo komarovii, 

the famous "Siberian Lotus", which is not a species of its own, but a synonym of the common species only) orginates in 

wintercold China and has been widely naturalized throughout Asia. The Asian Lotus has pale rose to pink or rarely white flowers. The 

North American Lotus (Nelumbo lutea) has pale yellow to almost white flowers. Unlike it is mentioned in most garden literature, both Lotus 

species are fully winterhardy as long as the rhizome does not freeze through! They are herbaceous aquatic plants with a stout creeping 

underground rhizome and large round leaves. Unlike the not closer related water lilies (Nymphaea spp.) with floating leaves, Lotus leaves 

and flowers are hold on tall stalks well above the waterlevel. Lotus are native of swamps and lakes and make impressive, long lasting 

tropical flowers followed by large disc-shaped seedpods which are used in dry flower arrangements. In colder climates they are best 

grown in large 50 liter containers filled with 1/2 soil and 1/2 water. Important: Containers have to be round and not rectangular! Lotus make 

creeping rhizomes and if the rhizome is stuck in a corner inside a rectangular pot it will fade away. In winter containers shall be kept 

frostfree at a minimum of some 1°C so that the soil and the rhizome will not freeze through. Both species are winterhardy, yet they require 

a certain sum of wamth during their growing period in summer in order to start to flower. Thus they can be successfully grown in shallow 

water at the edge of a pond with the rhizome planted rather deep so that it will not be touched by freezing. However under this conditons 

they will flower in rather warm summers only in Central Europe. 

Provided will be scarified seed, thus the seeds can be sowed right away without any additional treatment. Fill a bowl with water and soak 

seeds in a sunny and warm spot not below 20°C. Change water daily to reduce the risk of bacterial infections. Seeds will start to swell and 

after some 4 to 10 days the seedling will appear. After germination transplant the seedling into a humus rich soil and fill the pot with water 

to the top so that the tip of the seedling is hold just below waterlevel. Carefully transplant to larger pots as seedlings get larger. Plants are 

very fast growing and will make their first flowers within 1 year after sowing!

Wood Shamrocks are herbaceous perennials native of open spots in fresh soils in partial shade in woods in the Northern hemisphere 

respectively in montane and subalpine regions in rocky soils in full sun in the Southern hemisphere (the Andes in South America). All 

make dense floriferous carpets in early spring, species native in woods start to flower before the deciduous trees unfold their leaves. 

Easily grown in any humus rich, slightly moist soil in partial shade to full sun respectively in any rich, very well drained, slightly rocky soil in 

a protected spot in full sun for subalpine members from the Southern hemisphere. 

Sow the dustlike seed on top of any humus rich, well drained soil. Only slightly cover seeds and keep soil always moist from beneath. As 

for most winter hardy perennials, seeds require a cooling period for several months before they germinate in late spring to early summer, 

thus during winter place pots outside in a protected spot. Carefully transplant the dormant rootstock to the garden as soon as leaves start 

to wither and plants go dormant in summer.

Madagascar Palms or Madagascar Bottle Trees are native of Madagascar and South Africa. These ornamental plants can be divided into 

two basic groups: tree-like species with a massive succulent stem and dwarf species with a broad and short caudex. Especially the treelike 

species have usually very long, elegant leaves in a compact crown on an upright stem densely covered with long thorns, such as 

Pachypodium lamerei and Pachypodium geayi. Older specimens (rarely in potted plants) are adorned with large, bright colored, strongly 

fragrant flowers. These are easily cultivated in any rich, well drained, preferably stony or rocky soil in full sun throughout the year. Keep 

older plants rather dry in winter at a winter minimum of some 12°C.

Paeonia (Herbaceous Peonies) 

Herbaceous Peonies are longlived herbaceous perennials which are easily grown from seed. However they will need some time to 

establish and to gain flowering size, which usually is between three to four years, depending on cultivation conditions. Once reached 

maturity they will display their spectacular flowers for many year. All are excellent plants for any partially shaded or sunny spot in a well 

drained, yet humus rich soil. 

The present nomenclatura within this genus is more than complicated, several species have been recently renamed or sunk into a 

different species. We do not follow this renaming and will keep the old names until more scientific reliable information are available. 

Sow in any rich, well drained soil in autumn or early spring some 1cm/0.4" deep. Several seeds may not germinate before spring of the 

second year after sowing, thus do not empty pots with ungerminated seeds too early ! All Paeonia seeds require a prolonged cooling 

period for several months in winter before germination starts in early to mid spring. During winter place pots outside in a protected, sunny 

spot. The seedlings are best grown in pots for at least some 2 years, thereafter carefully transplant he young plants in early spring, paying 

special attention to not breaking their fleshy rhizomes. Once established, do not disturb plants until they are becoming too large. Carefully 

divide rhizomes of herbaceous species in late summer after the foliage has withered. 



Beside herbaceous peonies we offer several tree peonies. 

Paeonia anomala 100cm, close to Paeonia veitchii, yet with broader leaves with somewhat braoder leaflets, and numerous 

bright pink, slightly nodding fowers with less dissected petals. Its' flowers appear earlier than in Paeonia

Tree Peonies or Shrub Peonies are easily raised from seeds, but they will need their time to establish and to gain flowering size, which 

may be in a minimum of some 3 to 4 years, depending on cultivation conditions and species. They are suited for any partially shaded to 

sunny spot in a well drained, yet humus-rich soil. Especially these shrub-like species have always been much sought after, but they are 

rarely offered and thus will stay rather high priced. Some treasure plants for the connoisseur! In recent years there has been much 

confusion on species within the genus and this is still true for herbaceous perennial members. At least things seem to be sorted out for 

shrublike woody peonies. Only 4 tree peonies with several varieties and forms remain in the genus Paeonia: Paeonia decomposita, 

Paeonia delavayi, Paeonia ostii and Paeonia rockii. 

Sow in any rich, well drained soil in autumn or early spring some 1cm/0.4" deep. Several seeds may not germinate before spring of the 

second year after sowing, thus do not empty pots with ungerminated seeds too early ! All Paeonia seeds require a prolonged cooling 

period for several months in winter before germination starts in early to mid spring. During winter place pots outside in a protected, sunny 

spot. The seedlings are best grown in pots for at least some 2 years, thereafter carefully transplant he young plants in early spring, paying

Mouseplants are close to Arisaema and grow in shaded and moist woods in East Asia. A very easy and good genus, completely hardy 

outside. Will easily naturalize by seeds and offsets. Berries will stay always green and contain only one seed each. Excellent wood plants 

for a peaty soil. Need sufficient moisture in spring and summer, drier in winter. Note: certain species may become invasive in cool 

temperate as well as subtropical climates for their seeds and/or leaf bulbils. We strongly recommend to cultivate the following species 

under controlled conditions in pots: Pinellia pedadisecta and all Pinellia ternata forms. Pinellia tripartita is less invasive, especially in cool 

temperate climates in can be grown in the open garden, however in subtropical regions a cultivation in pots is recommended as well. All 

forms of Pinella cordata multiply rather reluctantly by means of solitary leaf bulbils and for their naturally small tuber size they should be 

grown in pots to not get lost in the open soil in the garden. 

Sow flat in any rich soil at a minimum of some 15°C throughout the year in a half-shaded place. As long as being in leaf, keep seedlings 

preferably in a sunny, cool yet frostfree spot in winter. Keep dormant corms of seedlings preferably in a cool, yet frostfree (at some 5°C to 

10°C) and dry spot during their first winter, plant out into the garden in mid spring the following year.

Pistachio or Pistache and Mastic Shrubs originate from the Canary Islands, the Mediterranean to Central Asia and are evergreen or 

deciduous, moderately sized shrubs to small trees with terminal clusters of small flowers followed by red-shelled fruits containing a single 

seed each. The pistachio nut from Pistacia vera can be eaten either fresh and raw or roasted and salted. Pistacia vera is a dioecious 

species, i.e. female and male flowers are born on different plants. Thus several plants have to be grown close together in order to 

guarantee pollination. All Pistacia species can be easily grown in containers in any rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot throughout the

Mintbush is a genus with some 90 species native of Australia. They are either small woody sub shrubs or very tall, almost tree-like shrubs. 

In general Mintbushes are very floriferous plants with numerous bright rose colored flowers which develop in spring or autumn. In most 

species the foliage is pleasantly aromatic as in related genera from the Mint family (Lamiaceae), such as Rosmarinus, Salvia, and 

Thymus. All Mintbusches are easily cultivated as pot or container plants in any fertile, humus-rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot 

throughout the year. In winter plants shall be kept drier at a minimum of some 15Â°C. 

Sow seeds flat in any humus-rich, slightly sandy, well drained substrate at some 20Â°C. Germination in this genus is irregular. After 

germination keep pots slightly drier and especially in winter in full sun.

Puya are subalpine members of the Bromeliacea from the Andean range in S America. Very easy and robust plants for a partially shaded 

spot in any rich, and well drained soil, good pot plants in any well drained, rocky to sandy soil with some humus. They make dense 

rosettes of grass-like to broadly-linear leaves, always with brown to black thorned margins. Large erect racemes arise from the basal 

rosette with numerous funnel-shaped to bell-like flowers. As Agave all flowering Puya will die down after flowering, usually leaving some 

offsets, which themselves gain flowering size in few years. 

Sow their small, paper-like seeds at 15°C to 25°C on any peaty, yet well drained soil in half-shade, do not cover seeds and always water 

from beneath. Keep seedlings cool at a minimum of some 10°C in winter and in rather dry and sunny position.

South African "Crocus" with charming, for the plant size in general unusually large, and double colored flowers. They have linear, grass 

like foliage. Good for cultivation under cold glass or in a sheltered and rather dry spot in the rocky garden with some good winter protection 

(i.e. a thick dry mulch layer). If being cultivated under frostfree conditions (recommended for colder climates), several species will already 

gain flowering size within one year. 

Sow small seeds flat in any well drained, humus rich soil at some 20°C throughout the year. A decrease in temperature at night down to 

some 10°C will significantly enhance the germination process. Some species may germinate within 6 weeks, others will need an entire 

growing cycle (i.e. 6 months) before germinating. Keep seedlings frostfree during pre-cultivation in pots for two years. In winter keep pots 

frostfree and drier at a minimum of some 5°C. Transplant the naturally tiny bulbs after leaves have withered in (late) summer. All species 

with a hardiness to USDA Zone 8 or 9 should be permanently grown as pot plants in a cool wintergarden or greenhouse with little freezing 

in order to promote flowering. Once established Romulea are free flowering and well increasing by small adventive bulbs.

Sauromatum (Voodoo Lily) & Typhonium (Asian Arum) 

Voodoo Lilies and Asian Arum belong to small genera and are mostly winter dormant tuberous plants. They are native from Eastern Africa 

(only Sauromatum venosum, syn. Typhonium venosum) to Central Asia and Australasian region and belong to closely related genera 

Sauromatum respectively Typhonium. Recently several former Typhonium species were included in Sauromatum. Most Typhonium 

species are extremely rarely available and always very high priced litte botanical gems and they make perfect collector's items for the small 

overall habit. All are nice small to medium sized foliage plants which will make several offsets under good conditions and an unforgettable 

reptile-like looking inflorescence before the leaf emerges in spring in Sauromatum venosum and Sauromatum venosum 'Indian Giant'. All 

species have an Arum like inflorescence with an incredible strong smell regarding their overall small to medium size. For any humus rich, 

well drained soil in partial shade to full sun. Sauromatum giganteum, Sauromatum venosum and Sauromatum horsfieldii are fairly winter 

hardy species, provided that tubers are planted rather deep in some protected spot with some additional protecting cover in winter (i.e. a 

dry mulchlayer). Alternatively and in colder regions, preferably grow these winter dormant species in pots and keep dormant tubers 

completely dry at some 5°C to 10°C from autumn to spring. 

Sow seeds flat at a minimum of some 20°C throughout the year in any well drained, humus rich soil, keep seedlings partially shaded.

Dormant plants (i.e. tubers or corms) are usually available in our shop from October through May. 




Sauromatum giganteum 

(syn. Typhonium 

giganteum) 

Sauromatum venosum 

'Indian Giant' 

50cm, a rarely seen, fully winter hardy Chinese aroid from mountain woods in the Yunnan province. A 

spectacular species with large yellowish green, very ornamental, broad oval arrowhead-shaped leaves (up 

to 30cm in length!) and a utmost strongly "perfumed" narrow, dark maroon spathe and spadix. The 

"perfume" of the inflorescence corresponds to the size of the leaves: it is so strong you simply cannot 

ignore it, neither will your neighbours! Fortunately this will last only for some two to three days. For any 

rich, well drained soil in a sunny to partially shaded spot in the garden with some good winter protection 

(e.g. dry mulch layer). Plants come into growth very late in the year (around end of June to July in Central 

Europe). In cooler climates the growing cycle may be too short so that the corm cannot completely ripe in 

autumn, and are better grown in pots under frostfree conditions. If grown in pots keep dormant plants dry 

in winter at some 5°C. Zona climática USDA 7. VI-VII.

Saxifraga (Non-succulent Saxifrage) 

The genus Saxifrage is a very diverse genus with a wide range of semiperennial to perennial plants, covering some 480 species in total. 

Saxifrages can be found from the greater part of the temperate and sub-arctic zones of the northern hemispheres with some "exotic" 

outposts in Ethiopia, Mexico and the Arctic region. Several species which naturally occur in moist, humus-rich soils in partially shaded to 

sunny open spots in woodlands and subalpine meadows are non-succulent and develop sometimes very broad leaves and impressively 

tall flowering stalks, while others are excellent ground covering plants. This group of Saxifrage is best grown in a humus rich, always 

slightly moist soil in a partially shaded or sunny spot in the rock garden. 

Sow the tiny, dust-like seeds very flat on a humus-rich, preferably slightly sandy soil from early spring to mid summer. Do not cover seeds 

with soil and keep pots in partial shade. Always water from beneath and keep pots sheltered from heavy rains so that seeds will not be 

dispersed. Transplant young plants in early spring as soon as seedlings are strong enough.

Sechium (Mexican Chayote Squash) 

Mexican Chayote Squash is a vigorous vine from the cucumber family (Cucurbitaceae) and is native of Central America (Mexico) where is 

has been cultivated for centuries for its edible fruits. Makes lobed leaves and small yellowish-white flowers which are followed by applesized 

light green, single-seeded fruits up to 500g in weight and which can be eaten raw in salads or are baked and cooked. The fruit is 

similar in taste and consistency to Cabbage Turnip (Kohlrabi). The seedling usually need two growing periods for the first harvest except 

for a very warm and long summer when fruits are set in the same year of potting. Fruitset is in autumn and winter, thus plants have to be 

grown in a warm greenhouse to produce fruits. 

Fruits are viviparous, i.e. the seed is already y rooting still being in the fruit. Thus plant the entire fruit some 1/3 deep of its size in any rich, 

well drained soil. Keep pots in an always sunny and warm spot throughout the year. The plant is very fast growing. Keep drier in winter at a 

minimum of some 15°C. Requires a climbing aid.

grow from the dry succulent shrub, ascending to the Pine forest, the evergreen, semi-moist laurel forest, and the subalpine zone in the 

Cañadas crater on Tenerife (Silene nocteolens). None are sufficiently winter hardy and thus shall be grown as pot plants in any rich, yet 

well drained, rocky soil in an always sunny spot in the cool wintergarden or frostfree greenhouse. Winter minimum 10°C. 

Sow flat at some 20°C to 27°C in any rich, well drained soil in a sunny spot. Keep soil only slightly moist.

Viola (Canary Violets) 

Canary Violets in general are perennial to woody sub shrubs (the latter especially from subalpine and alpine regions) with nice, dense 

foliage. The Canary species are suited for an unheated, not necessarily frostfree greenhouse as they withstand some freezing in winter for 

a short period. Canary Violets are without exception very rare, and especial Viola cheiranthifolia and Viola palmensis are very endangered. 

Sow flat at some 5°C to 15°C from autumn to late spring. If sowed from summer to early autumn, seeds may not germinate before 

following spring as they need some time of cooling at 5°C to 10°C prior to germination. Seedlings may be flowering size within two years.

All Violets offered on this page are fully hardy perennials with nice foliage and showy flowers. Several species are suited as excellent 

ground-covering plants. Most members within this broad family grow well in any rich, well drained, and slightly moist soil during summer in 

a partially shaded to sunny position. A small group of utmost beautiful and very rare species with rosulate leaves (i. e. with leaves arranged 

in a dense basal rosette), which are native of subalpine regions in South America (Viola section Andinium), as well as most other 

subalpine members, such as Viola cheiranthiifolia and Viola palmensis, both native of the Canary islands, require especially in winter a 

good protection from excessive wetness. These species are best grown under cold glass throughout the year with a layer of grit sand or 

crushed lava around their base. 

Sow flat at some 5°C to 15°C from autumn to late spring. Seeds require a cooling period for several months prior to germination. As it is 

the case in many hardy perennials, if seeds are sowed too late in the year, most will not germinate before spring the following year. 

Transplant seedlings in early summer or as soon as plants are strong enough. Some may flower in summer the same year already, some 

may need another year. Several species have two flower seasons, a major one in spring and a second, minor one in late summer, which 

greatly depends on weather.

En los meses de invierno, las plantas sensibles a las heladas (por ejemplo bulbos, cormos y tubérculos) sólo serán enviadas en períodos libres de escarcha (por 

ejemplo desdes mediados de octubre hasta fines de marzo), lo que podría significar un retraso en el envío. 

Si el cliente tiene algunas restricciones/deseos con respecto a la fecha/períodos de envío de la mercancia, estos deben estar claramente especificados en el pedido. 

6.) Disponibilidad de la mercancía 

Sólo se podrán comprar artículos que se encuentren disponibles en el shop. En caso de no poder enviar algún artículo, a raíz de circunstancias fuera del alcance de 

www.rareplants.de (por ejemplo semillas infestadas), se le devolverá el dinero al cliente por medio de una nota de crédito, pago por PayPal o mediante el envío del 

dinero en efectivo. 

Para pedidos en las que no se recibe de inmediato el pago de ésta, se reservara la mercancía por un período de dos (2) semanas. Si dentro de este período no se 

recibe el pago, puede suceder, que algunos artículos ya no se encuentren disponibles. En este caso, el cliente recibirá una nota de crédito para realizar futuros 

pedidos en el shop. 

7.) Cancelación del pedido, derecho de revocación/devolución de mercanía y consecuencias de la revocación 

a) Cancelación de pedidos pendientes 

Cuando la mercancía aún no se haya sido enviada, el cliente puede cancelar un contrato en cualquier momento gratuitamente. La cancelación del contrato se debe 

indicar por escrito (por ejemplo por email, fax, correo) a www.rareplants.de. Además todos los pedidos sin el recibo del pago son borrados automáticamente por la 

tienda después de los 14 días. Para todos los pedidos con un pago adelantado el cliente recibe un reembolso del valor total del pedido a través de un pago PayPal o

b) Derecho de revocación de pedidos enviados 

Clientes privados tienen derecho a la cancelación y/o devolución del pedido hecho a distancia (en línea) según lo señalado en la ley alemana sobre venta a distancia 

Fernabsatzgesetzes (FernAG) en general. El límite de tiempo comienza con el recibo de mercancías por parte del cliente. Los contratos llevados a cabo con clientes 

comerciales no están cubiertos por dicha ley FernAG. Todos los artículos perecibles, que debido a su naturaleza sean imposibles de devolver, están exentos de 

estas ley en el artículo § 3 cláusula 2 FernAG. En conformidad con la ley FernAG, bienes perecibles son semillas y plantas. En este caso la cancelación del pedido 

depende de la aprobación por escrito por parte de www.rareplants.de. El cliente debe pedir tal aprobación en forma escrita (por ejemplo por email, fax, correo) a

debe indemnizar a www.rareplants.de al valor de esa dedradación. Esto no se aplica a la degradación de la mercancía como resultado de una comprobación - tal 

como habría sido posible para el cliente en un almacén local por ejemplo. Por lo demás el cliente puede evitar la obligación de una indemnización como resultado de

8.) Reclamos 

Todos los artículos son despachados en excelente estado y sin daño alguno. www.rareplants.de no se responsabiliza de ningún tipo de daño que pueda 

ocurrir durante el tranporte. Cualquier tipo de daño debe ser reportado de inmediato al transportista. 

Al momento de recibir la mercancía, ésta debe ser inmediatamente revisada en su totalidad por el cliente. Si el artículo se encontrase con algún daño del 

que www.rareplants.de tuviese que responder (por ejemplo artículos infestados o con enfermedades, artículos equívocos), el cliente deberá contactar por 

escrito (por ejemplo e-mail, fax, corrreo) dentro de los 14 dias, desde el momento en que se recibió la mercancía, a www.rareplants.de. Sólo luego de una 

respuesta por escrito de www.rareplants.de se podrán enviar de vuelta todos los artículos en sus envases originales. Al cliente se le reemplazará la 

mercancía lo más pronto posible, se extenderá una nota de crédito o se le devolverá el dinero. Por cualquier devolución que no haya sido aprobada por 

www.rareplants.de, así como reclamos posteriores, no se hará ni reemplazo de la mercadería ni se enviará nota de crédito o se devolverá el dinero. 

www.rareplants.de hará todo lo posible por resolver el problema de inmediato para asegurar la satisfacción completa del cliente. 

9.) Renuncia a la responsabilidad 

www.rareplants.de no se hace responsable de daños posteriores totales o parciales derivados de algún artículo comercializado. www.rareplants.de 

responde sólo hasta el máximo correspondiente al total especificado en la factura del pedido. 

10.) Protección de datos y privacidad & Cuenta cliente 

El cliente debe proveer datos personales al shop con el fin de procesar el pedido y para la subscripción en la carta electrónica de información 

(Newsletter). El cliente puede revisar sus datos grabados en cualquier momento en su cuenta de cliente mediante la introducción de su dirección de mail y 

la clave secreta obtenida de www.rareplants.de en la siguiente dirección: 

http://www.rareplants.de/shop/customer_account.asp 

Datos personales del cliente serán dados a terceras personas únicamente y exclusivamente cuando la ley así lo disponga. En nuestro servidor no se 

almacenan ni datos bancarios ni datos de tarjetas de crédito. 

11.) Devolución de material de embalaje 

[Sólo aplicable a los clientes dentro de Alemania] 

12.) Diversos 

a) Taxonomía 

Los nombres de todas las plantas son constantemente revisados de acuerdo a la taxonomía actual. Sin embargo no se puede garantizar la completa 

veracidad de sus términos botánicos. Nombres de plantas que sean evidentemente erróneos, serán corregidos, garantizando así la completa satisfacción 

del cliente. 

b) Autenticidad de las semillas 

La mayoría de las semillas proviene de polinización abierta. Especies botánicas emparentadas se cultivan separadamente unas de otras, con lo que el 

riesgo de una hibridización se reduce al mínimo. Algunas especies muy poco comunes se polinizan artificialmente para asegurar su fertilidad y 

autenticidad (por ejemplo todas las especies dentro del género Paeonia), lo que se ve reflejado en el precio de estas especies 100% auténticas. 

Todas las plantas cultivadas son auténticas representantes de sus especies. Sin embargo, como resultado de una variación genética natural, no es 

posible obtener cada vez un resultado idéntico dentro del cultivo, por lo que algunas de las especies ofrecidas aquí pueden variar dentro de un pequeño 

rango, quedando eso sí fieles representantes de sus respectivas especies. 

c) Viabilidad 

Las semillas son purificadas mediante diferentes técnicas, por ejemplo agua, aire a presión o arena. Todas las semillas que se pueden cuantificar son 

seleccionadas a mano con el fin de eliminar las semillas que no son aptas para su germinación. Todas las semillas son controladas antes de ponerse a la 

venta. La tasas de germinación de las semillas depende en gran medida de las condiciones de germinación dominantes, en las cuales www.rareplants.de 

ya no tiene influencia alguna. Para algunas especies de la familia de los lirios (Liliaceae) no es poco común poseer una tasa de germinación de casi un 

100%, mientras que otras especies, como por ejemplo las dentro del género Digitalis, logran apenas un 10%. Hasta su envío todas las semillas son 

almacenadas en constantes 5°C / 37°F y una humedad relative del aire de los 30% para garantizar de ese modo la más alta viabilidad. 

La viabilidad de todas las partidas de semillas almacenadas es supervisada al menos una vez al año, siendo desechadas y reemplazadas por nuevas 

partidas aquellas que fuesen insatisfactorias. Ciertas especies de corta vida se encuentran a la venta sólo por algunas semanas o meses luego de su 

cosecha. 

Algunas especies dentro de la familia de Amaryllidaceae (por ejemplo Lycoris) no producen semillas sino bulbillos, los que en poco tiempo, aún 

guardados a bajas temperaturas, comienzan a germinar. Estos bulbillos deben ser plantados lo más pronto posible luego de haberlos recibido. 

www.rareplants.de no se responsabiliza por las insuficientes tasas de germinación de las semillas, que sean provocadas por métodos de cultivo 

inapropiados y que se encuentran fuera de la influencia de www.rareplants.de 

d) Información sobre la siembra y el cultivo 

No se incluyen instrucciones de siembra y cultivo de la mercadería. Información general acerca de siembra y cultivo puede encontrarse en: 

http://www.rareplants.de/shop/prodtype.asp?strParents=&CAT_ID=557 

El siguiente documento puede ser bajado y almacenado como archivo Adobe Reader por clientes: 

http://www.rareplants.de/shop/uploads/files_versions/General_Sowing_and_Cultivation_Information_ES.pdf 

Posibles diferencias en los requerimientos de ciertas especies serán también dados a saber, siempre y cuando éstos sean conocidos por el shop. Esto se 

extiende a todos los artículos del shop. Toda la información acerca de siembra y cultivo es proporcionada sin garantizar que esté completa o totalmente 

correcta. 

e) Vencimiento 

A menos de mencionarse lo contrario en la descripción, todas las semillas deberán ser sembradas de inmediato después de haber sido recibidas. Si no se 

desean plantar las semillas de inmediato, se recomienda guardarlas en un lugar obscuro y seco (por ejemplo la nevera) en su envase original, que las 

protegerá de tanto de secarse como de la humedad excesiva. 

f) Cantidad de semillas por sobre 

Todos los sobres contienen por lo menos la cantidad de semillas especificada en el shop. En caso de que las semillas no sean contables debido a su 

tamaño y apariencia arenosa (por ejemplo en la familia de: Campanulaceae, Crassulaceae y Scrophulariaceae), cada sobre contendrá al menos la 

cantidad necesaria para cultivar unos cincuenta (50) plantas. Esto significa que por lo general cada sobre contiene más de cincuenta (50) semillas! 

Si se ordenan dos (2) o más sobres de la misma especie, las semillas serán enviadas todas juntas en un solo sobre, a menos de que el cliente mencione 

claramente otras instrucciones en el pedido. 

g) Certificado fitosanitario / CITES 

No se extenderán ni certificados fitosanitarios ni CITES. Acerca de posibles restricciones para el importe de plantas vivas (fuera de la Unión Europea) o 

regulaciones relacionadas con CITES en el país del cliente, es este último el responsable de informarse donde sus autoridades locales antes de hacer el 

pedido. El cliente es responsable en el caso de una confiscación del artículo por parte de las autoridades. 

Todos los materials y artículos ofrecidos que se encuentran en el listado del Washington Convention (CITES), apéndices I - III, provienen de plantas 

exclusivamente cultivadas y propagadas artificialmente con el fin de concordar con las leyes alemanas, españolas e internacionales. De esta manera, al 

comprar en www.rareplants.de, el cliente tiene la posibilidad de contribuir activamente a la protección de plantas en peligro de extinción! 

Regulaciones importantes sobre la importación de semillas para clientes de los E.E.U.U.: Descargue las instrucciones para un gratuito " Small Lots 

of Seed Permit " de APHIS (U.S. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) como archivo PDF:

13.) Domicilio legal y jurisdicción 

Domicilio legal y jurisdicción para ambas partes es dentro de Alemania. Sólo se aplican leyes alemanas. 

14.) Cláusula salvatoria 

En caso de volverse alguno de los términos o condiciones mencionados anteriormente legalmente inefectivo, ya sea por cancelación, toma de otros 

acuerdos u otros motivos, se substituirán estos términos o condiciones inefectivos por una alternativa aceptable. En caso de cualquier diferencia entre las 

versiones en alemán, ingles, español o francés, la version alemana es la decisiva.
