Importing seeds from abroad
Seeds bought from overseas sellers may need an import permit. The Control of Plants rules say that no one may import a regulated plant, plant product or regulated material except under a permit from the authority, and the authority also sets import requirements for seeds. Before you order from abroad, ask the seller to confirm that the seeds can be brought into Singapore. Buying from a local seller avoids most of this paperwork.
Growing in a hot, wet climate
Singapore is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer, so sowing depends on the dry spells rather than on a spring date. Heavy rain can wash seeds out of open beds and rot young seedlings, so sow in containers or raised beds if you can, and use shade during the hottest hours. An official nursery guide stresses that strong seedlings come from good nursery management, so keep young plants evenly moist and protected while they establish.
Pack sizes, units and delivery
Packs are sold by seed count, such as 30, 200, 1,000 or 25,000 seeds, or by weight in ounces. Ask for weights in grams, since metric quantities are easier to compare, and check the number of seeds rather than the price alone. Ask whether the price includes delivery, and to which of Singapore, Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio the seller delivers.
What to write in your request
Name the crop and variety if you know them, such as lettuce, beet or a hybrid, and say whether you want a single packet or a bulk pack. Give the quantity in seeds or grams, the growing conditions (open bed, container, or indoors under lights) and the sowing area in square metres. Mention your budget and your delivery city, so sellers can propose a suitable pack rather than the first one they have.
Write your request on BlaBlaPrice; it is free for buyers, and you can add a photo of the packet or the bed. BlaBlaPrice asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Singapore, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them. For plants that are already growing, see seedlings and garden plants.
