Seeds in Hong Kong

Updated 4 November 2026

In Hong Kong a standard packet of vegetable or flower seeds costs about HK$17 to HK$65, and seed mixes or collections start from around HK$120. The quickest way to get current prices for your crop is to describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice, which looks through local sellers' websites and price lists for you.

What the packet should tell you

Seeds are sold by the packet, with the seed count for flower and tree types and the net weight in grams for bulk seeds. The Sale of Goods Ordinance (Cap. 26) is the only law governing the sale of goods here, and it covers implied conditions such as merchantable quality. Ask the seller to state the crop, the variety and the pack size in writing before you pay.

Sowing with the seasons

Hong Kong has a northern-hemisphere climate, with winter from December to February and summer from June to August. November comes just before the cool months, so ask a seller whether a variety is meant for autumn, winter or spring sowing. Summer seeds need heat tolerance, so check the label for the sowing season before you buy.

How seeds are bought and delivered here

Prices are quoted per packet, while bulk seed is often quoted per gram or per 1,000 seeds. Ask the seller to confirm the delivery fee to your city before you pay, whether it is Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan or Tuen Mun. Measure your sowing area in square metres, because a balcony box and a rooftop plot need very different pack sizes.

What to write in your request

Name the crop and the variety or hybrid, the quantity you need and the growing conditions: a balcony pot, a rooftop bed or a ground plot, with its sowing area in square metres. Add the pack size you prefer, your delivery city and your budget in HK$. The more precise the request, the fewer questions the sellers need to ask.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the seeds in your own words in the chat and add a photo of the packet if you have one. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to exchange them, so no one calls you unasked. You can also send the request link to local sellers you already know. Start with a request on BlaBlaPrice, or read how BlaBlaPrice works.
