Seeds in New Zealand: prices, certification and sowing

In New Zealand, a seed packet usually costs between NZ$1.80 and NZ$22, depending on the crop, the number of seeds and whether it is a native or a bulk pack. A 3 kg bag of sunflower seed is about NZ$24. To see current prices from local sellers, describe the crop, the quantity and your city in a BlaBlaPrice chat.

Certified seed and import rules

The MPI Seed Varietal Certification Scheme checks that seed produced in New Zealand meets the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) scheme. Look for certified seed when you buy for a commercial crop. Importing seeds and plants is controlled by the EPA, which approves new species and organisms, so check before you bring any seed in from overseas.

Germination and warranty

Seed sellers often state that they give no warranty on germination or productiveness. A New Zealand seed journal notes that certification sets a minimum standard for physical purity, not germination. Check the sell-by date on the pack, and sow a little more than you need to allow for poor germination.

Season and sowing

November is late spring in New Zealand, and the main summer growing season runs from December to February. Quick crops such as salad greens and pak choi can go in now, while tender crops such as beans and tomatoes are best left until the weather settles. Winter, June to August, is the time to order seed for the following season.

Delivery and pack sizes

Pack sizes are counted in seeds, such as 50, 500, 1,000 or 2,500, or in kilograms for bulk. Work out how many plants your sowing area holds before you buy the largest pack. Ask the seller to confirm delivery to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton or Tauranga and the freight cost, because bulk packs add weight.

Describe the crop, the variety you want, the quantity, the growing conditions and your city in your own words in a BlaBlaPrice chat, and add a photo of the garden if it helps. It is free for buyers. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for missing details, looks through New Zealand sellers' websites and price lists, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered sellers reply in the chat with price, terms and delivery. Your contact details stay hidden until you choose whom to share them with.
