More expensive in small packets of 10. Cheap enough to do some experimenting. This is a very reliable company and of interest to anyone with a leaning to tropical/subtropical plants. Howdy Jim et al, For any of you interested in the Amorph Paeoniifolius seed that Jim mentioned..... according to the Aroid Hardiness List on the Aroid Society website ( http://www.aroid.org/horticulture/hardy.html ) Am. paeoniifolius will take down to zone 7 (2'F) so might be a bit more than just tropical/subtropical people who can grow it. Out of interest what actually IS the definition of subtropical? I've always thought of it as much warmer than Zone 7, but I honestly have no idea what exactly the term means. The only reason I am pointing the hardiness out is just that it might interest more people as it is a little hardier than many might believe? Of course I could be entirely wrong and everyone else already knows that it will take those sorts of temps. If so then I apologise profusely for wasting your time. Cheers.
