When coated with pesticides and fungicides, it can not only lessen the viability of these precious seeds, but it can also weaken the strain as well. Avid gardeners can buy HBWR seeds imported from Ghana, the Pacific islands, Spain, or from several small organic farms in Hawaii. Trust the people who have been sourcing HBWR for over 5 years, and who not only take great pride in their products, but who care deeply about species preservation as well!

These organic, untreated seeds are imported directly from Mauii and inspected for freshness and quality upon arrival. These are our prized seeds and are getting more and more difficult to find each year.  Don't be fooled by inferior seeds sold for less; these seeds have an average germination rate of about 95%. Sold by weight, not by quantity. Our seeds have been verified by an independent lab for authenticity and quality, and these are always sold first come, first serve.  Orders are limited to 150 seeds per order per month.  Orders for more will be cancelled.

These seeds are the seeds that most HBWR seed enthusiasts are familiar with. These seeds have a fuzzy coating, and need to be scored and soaked in water prior to planting to ensure germination.

Seeds of the Argyreia nervosa may have once been used in sacramental rituals in the Pacific Islands, where they were used by high priests. Reportedly, they would ingest 5-10 seeds to speak with the spirit world, but ingestion of these seeds is now illegal in the United States. They are legal to posses and grow; the beautiful plant that comes from these seeds is the truly magnificent thing about Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Seeds. Properly cultivated this plant would make a great addition to any garden.

Strictly NOT for human consumption and sold for cultivation only.
