Angelica sinensis - Dang Gui (Seeds)

• Soak the seeds overnight in cold, chlorine-free water (preferably filtered rainwater). 
• The next day, place the seeds in the fridge at 4 degrees Celsius (39.2 °F) in a moist medium. A germination roll made from clean kitchen roll or special germination paper (soaked) and rolled up in a freezer bag has proven effective here. (Sand, seed compost or similar should also work. However, we haven’t tried this yet.)
• The seeds must remain in the fridge at 4 degrees Celsius (39.2 °F) for 3 days.
• The seeds should be damp, not wet! This, along with the temperature, is crucial for successful germination. 
• Under no circumstances must the seeds freeze in the fridge!
• After pre-treatment, place the still-moist seeds (they must not dry out during the entire process!) in their germination tray. We like to use seed trays. We recommend a professional, high-quality seed compost that is airy, not overly pre-fertilised and has good water-holding capacity. 
• The seeds are now carefully scattered over the surface of the seed compost and covered with a very fine layer of seed compost; 1 to 2 mm is sufficient here. Press down lightly and you’re done.
• The whole setup must now be kept evenly moist for 30 to 60 days at a temperature of 20 to a maximum of 24 degrees Celsius (68–75.2 °F). Not wet and not dry! 
• Consistency is very important during the germination process. 
• The fastest seedlings will germinate after about 30 days. 
•  The literature states that germination can take up to 60 days. In our experience, most germinate more quickly. However, in some cases it can take as long as 70 or 80 days.
• The seedlings grow slowly for the first two months; they need a bright spot without too much direct sunlight.

Storage: If you don’t want to or can’t sow your seeds straight away, there are a few things you need to bear in mind to ensure they remain viable for as long as possible. You should store them in the best possible conditions. The seeds should be kept in a dry, airtight, dark container in a cool place with a stable temperature. You can, for example, store our seed packets in screw-top jars. For longer storage, you can add a small bag of silica gel, which absorbs moisture from the air. It is also important to check the seeds regularly.

As seeds are living organisms, they do not have an unlimited lifespan. However, we cannot give you a best-before date, as so many factors are crucial for seed germination. Optimal storage, however, ensures that you can enjoy your seeds for a long time – provided you haven’t sown them all at once ;)

Germination rates: In the product descriptions, you will find the germination rates, which represent an average between laboratory results and field germination. However, the stated germination rate does not guarantee the germination rate you will achieve at home, but merely serves as a guide to the desired emergence rate of the seeds.

Batch number: The batch number and filling date are printed on the seed packets; we are legally obliged to do so. If you have any questions about our seeds, please always quote the relevant batch number (e.g. 1_kc1_2023).

If you have any further questions, please feel free to check our FAQs or our Terms and Conditions.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that our seeds will germinate. Although we carry out regular quality checks, ensure the seeds are stored under optimal conditions and test their germination rate, we have no control over the conditions during storage, germination and cultivation of the seeds in your home.

Please check the regulations, laws and import requirements in your country before purchasing our seeds.
