Question from
Nicolas Heinen
Hi, mi name is Nicolás. I was wondering if you sell seeds of Salvia argentea.
Algo, I'm looking for seeds of Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck cv. 'Sanguinelli' (there are other varieties such as Tarocco), also known as "Blood Orange", because of the colour of its pulp. I need seeds because I want to take them abroad and I couldn't possibly travel with a small tree.
If you don't sell them, could you tell me a good place to look for them?
Kind regards,
Nicolás.
