德国 种子铺 Seedeo – 25 余年稀有种子邮购

1999 年从集市摊位开始

Seedeo 是德国明斯特（Münster）的一家种子邮购店，做的是稀有种子这一门。店是两口子一起开的：老板娘 Marianne Koch 是园艺师傅的女儿，从小在苗圃和泥土里长大；她丈夫十三岁就跟着奶奶站花市，学会了怎么跟顾客搭话。1999 年两人把这些家底凑在一起，开了个只有两个人的网店，专门卖别处不好找的种子。

二十多年下来，店里的东西越攒越多，骨架没变：种子自己挑，货自己验，每单附一张播种说明。现在连他们自己在内一共四个人，另外还有一只猫负责看仓库、试纸箱、提醒大家喝咖啡——这一点是他们自己在介绍页上写的。

从猴面包树到 BIO 番茄

按店里商品目录数，在售的有五百六十多个编号，站上自己的说法是五百多种稀有品种。品种跨度很大：一边是猴面包树、天堂鸟、巨杉、石榴这类木本和热带植物，还有棕榈、盆景、仙人掌与多肉、耐寒乔木、灌木、药用植物；另一边是能直接下锅的，番茄、辣椒、南瓜、黄瓜、胡萝卜、生菜、豆类，其中一百四十多个编号走的是 BIO 认证这条线。

除了种子，也卖已经长起来的苗和幼树，比如二十到三十厘米高的草莓树；还有配好的育苗套装和礼盒，连育苗土、育苗盆、小温室都有。季节性的东西另开一栏，藏红花球茎只在秋天卖几周，郁金香球茎是春季那一波。

每单附一张播种说明

这家店最实用的是那张说明。他们在页面上把育苗的坑一个个列了出来：别用普通花土，里面的肥料盐会把种子泡烂，要用贫瘠、透水的育苗土；硬壳种子先泡水；覆土厚度大约是种子本身的一到一点五倍，轻轻压实，别留气泡；浇水用雨水这类硬度低的水，保持湿润但别积水；发芽温度二十二到二十八度，容器要通风或者带透气孔；种子之间留一到两厘米；苗长到十厘米左右再移盆，移完浇透、避开太阳和穿堂风。

他们也直说种子不一定都发得出来，原因可能是陈、是保存不当，也可能是苗本身弱。所有种子和植物都标明非转基因。木本和稀有品种要有耐心，发芽常常要几周甚至几个月，这一点在下单前就写清楚了。

一年跑五六场植物市集

除了网店，他们还拉着货去德国的植物市集和稀有品种交易会。2026 年的行程是这样的：三月二十一到二十二日在法兰克福棕榈园（Palmengarten）的植物集市，四月十一到十二日在柏林达勒姆庄园（Domäne Dahlem）的多年生植物市集，四月十七到十八日在维也纳植物园的稀有品种交易会，五月初和九月下旬各去一次莱比锡植物园的植物市集。原定九月初柏林植物园那场他们取消了，页面上直接写着「很遗憾不得不取消」。

这类市集是他们最早的来路。店里的说法是，一开始就是跑市集、稀有品种交易会和小型专业活动，跑出了兴趣，才慢慢做成生意。现在去市集仍然是自己摆摊，顾客能当面看种子、问怎么种。

怎么订，多久到

下单在网店里完成，付款可以用 PayPal、Klarna、账单或预付款。付款后一般一到三个工作日内发货；德国境内二到三天送到，寄到国外三到七天。发往欧盟境内，奥地利、瑞士、列支敦士登这几个德语区国家是常发的。一个订单里如果混了不同发货期的货，会等最慢的那件一起走。

评价区里一百多条留言，多数在说两件事：包装扎实、发货快；另外不少人提到包裹里多塞了一份小礼物。也有人说种子八颗一周内全发了芽。这些话是买家写的，不是店方自述，信不信由读者自己判断。

Started in 1999 with a market stall

Seedeo is a mail-order seed business in Münster, Germany, specialising in rare seed. It is run by a married couple. Marianne Koch is the daughter of a master gardener and grew up among nursery beds and soil; her husband was standing at a flower market with his grandmother at thirteen, learning how to talk to customers. In 1999 the two put those backgrounds together and opened a two-person online shop for seed that was hard to find elsewhere.

More than twenty years on, the stock has grown but the frame has not changed: they pick the seed themselves, check the goods themselves, and put a sowing instruction in every order. Counting the couple, four people work there, plus a cat that supervises the warehouse, tests new cartons for comfort and makes sure nobody forgets the coffee break, as their own about page puts it.

From baobab to organic tomato

Count the shop’s product list and there are more than five hundred and sixty items, which the site itself describes as over five hundred rare varieties. The spread is wide. On one side are woody and tropical plants such as baobab, bird of paradise, giant sequoia and pomegranate, along with palms, bonsai, cacti and succulents, hardy trees, shrubs and medicinal plants. On the other are things that go straight into the kitchen: tomato, chilli, pumpkin, cucumber, carrot, lettuce and beans, with more than a hundred and forty items carrying organic certification.

Besides seed they sell young plants and small trees, such as strawberry trees twenty to thirty centimetres tall, plus ready-made propagation kits and gift boxes, down to the compost, pots and small greenhouses. Seasonal stock gets its own section: saffron corms are sold for only a few weeks in autumn, tulip bulbs in the spring wave.

A sowing instruction with every order

The most useful thing here is that instruction sheet. Their own page lists the usual traps one by one: do not use ordinary potting compost, whose fertiliser salts can rot the seed, but a lean, free-draining seed compost; soak hard-shelled seed first; cover it to about one to one and a half times the seed’s own depth and press down lightly so no air pockets remain; water with soft water such as rainwater and keep it moist without letting it sit wet; germinate at twenty-two to twenty-eight degrees, in a container that is ventilated or has breathing holes; leave one to two centimetres between seeds; pot on only once the seedlings reach about ten centimetres, then water well and keep them out of sun and draughts.

They also say plainly that not every seed will come up, whether because it is old, was stored badly, or the seedling was weak to begin with. All seed and plants are marked as non-GMO. Woody and rare species need patience, often several weeks or months to germinate, and that is stated before you order.

Five or six plant fairs a year

Beyond the shop, they load the van and go to German plant fairs and rare-plant markets. The 2026 circuit runs like this: the plant fair at Frankfurt’s Palmengarten on 21 and 22 March, the perennials market at Berlin’s Domäne Dahlem on 11 and 12 April, the rare plant fair at Vienna’s botanical garden on 17 and 18 April, and the plant market at Leipzig’s botanical garden in early May and again in late September. The Berlin botanical garden date in early September was cancelled, and the page says so outright.

These fairs are where the business came from. By their own account it began with markets, rare-plant bourses and small specialist events, and the interest grew into a shop. They still stand at the fairs themselves, so customers can look at the seed and ask how to grow it face to face.

How to order and how long it takes

Orders go through the online shop, paid by PayPal, Klarna, invoice or advance payment. Dispatch usually follows within one to three working days of payment; delivery takes two to three days inside Germany and three to seven days abroad. They ship within the EU, and the German-speaking neighbours Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein are regular destinations. If an order mixes items with different lead times, the whole parcel waits for the slowest one.

Around a hundred reviews sit on the site, most of them making the same two points: solid packing and fast dispatch, with several mentioning a small extra gift in the box. One buyer reports all eight seeds germinating within a week. Those are buyer comments rather than the shop’s own claims, and the reader can weigh them.
