UK ONLY. We launched our selection of 'Linea Mercurio' award winning seed range for the first time in the UK 5 years ago, and they have been well received as all packs have larger seed quantities and are aimed at the allotment holder, small grower, restaurant grower, serious gourmet and professional.
The prestigeous Gold Mercury European Award 1973 was instituted in Rome by the 'Centro Giornalistico Annali' under it's then patron, the president of Italy. Exceptional seed selection, quality and varieties grown for flavour.
We usually carry stocks of these larger packs but have introduced a limited bulk seed range for professionals, growers and farmers who can order transparently online.
PLEASE NOTE that BULK SEED is ordered specially from Italy for freshness and DELIVERY IS WITHIN 30 days (or sooner depending on when our next delivery is), but we do not stock bulk seed.
They will be in quantities of 'x' grams, so if it's a 50g bag and you need 80g, then just order two bags.
At the moment, bulk seed can only be bought online by prepayment and is not refundable once goods have been dispatched to us because they are one off and not stock items, specially for you from Italy. This does not affect your statuary rights.
