Hi everyone, new here :-). Im not really a tropical gardener, but interested in some sub-tropical/tropical plants/shrubs/trees. I live in agriculture zone 10a and im from Portugal (South Europe). I've been looking everywhere for these specimens to aquire them but having hard time:
- Boswellia Serrata (this seems very rare everywhere)
- Curcuma Longa (Turmeric)
- Bacopa Monnieri
- Adhatoda Zeylanica
- Boerhavia diffusa
- Terminalia Arjuna
- Terminalia Chebula
- Costus Speciosus
- Wedelia Chinensis
- Leptadenia Reticulata
- Desmodium Gangeticum
- Solanum Nigrum
- Crocus Sativus
- Syzygium Aromaticum
- Piper Longum
- Premna Mucronata
They are mostly Asiatic (India, China,etc...). Do you happen to know where i might find seeds or cuttings of these specimens? It would be great to find it in Europe (organic agriculture only!) but im able to acquire/buy them (sseds) outside also, no problem (reliable/honest sources of course). Any of you have experience with any of these?
Regards
Nuno

They have Curcuma longa here but you might also find others you're after

Seed Shelf also has several of the seeds you are looking for.

thank you. I've contacted seedhelf and yes they have some of those. Nonless i'm having a hard time finding BACOPA MONNIERI. Seeds seem rare and a bit microscopic to be viable to collect and cuttings are more common but im not sure if it is a good ideia to send a plant from USA to EUROPE in a box :-). Anyway if anyone can help me specifically with this specimen (maybe where to find seeds, even if im not sure for how long they are viable to germinate since collection) or any nursery/private collector preferably in Europe that might have it. Thank you once more.
