Wanted: Gorse Seeds

Post: # 159693Post BountifulHarvest »

Maybe someone here can help me. I am desperately looking for gorse seeds. I have been looking everywhere but without any luck. So this being my last resort I hope someone has some that they don't need.

I do have rhubarb seeds in exchange for gorse seeds or just name your price.

Does it grow "wild" in Sweden? I'll keep a look out for them, but can't promise anything - let you know if I find any.

Are you allowed to post seeds to other countries?

Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

No, sadly it does not grow wild in Sweden. I have hoped for it but we have not found any, that's why I am so desperate to find it.

Yes, you are. I have received and sent a lot of seeds from the UK, Ireland, USA and many other countries. :flower:

I can send you some.
I have a huge gorse bush down the far end of my land, it's in full bloom now so you may have to wait for a week or two.

Most people try to get rid of gorse, but I can tolerate one bush as it nearly always has a flower on it, even in mid winter.
And it has a lovely vanilla scent on a hot day.

Seeds are OK, certainly between EU countries anyway, but growing plants are not allowed without a phytosanitary certificate.
