Myrrh Seed - Commiphora neglecta
aka: Soetwortelkanniedood, IiMinyela, Xisenga
Native habitat: Northern KwaZulu-Natal, Limpoo Province, Zimbabwe and Mozambique
Commiphora neglecta is a rare myrrh tree variety growing three to eight feet in low-lying dry bushveld, sand for...est, on rocky outcrops, and in thickets of well-drained sandy or rocky soil. The main trunk bark is a dark, glossy green that may be seen through strips of yellow flaking as it grows. Branchletes are spine-tipped. When the bark is scored, a watery latex emerges. The tree's side branches feature 3-foliate, obovate leaflets. Flowers are yellow, tiny and form in the leaf axils. If pollinated, fruit comes in the form of a round, green berry that ripens to bright red when the berry is mature. Splitting of the ripened berry reveals a black seed. This particular tree is perfect for Bonsai and is well on it's way to becoming an heirloom plant.
Care: Our myrrh is grown year round outdoors in full sun. We recommend you grow these trees in pots where Winter temperatures will be less than 40 degrees. If frost threatens, bring your myrrh tree inside until frost danger passes. Our soil mix consists of 50% Perlite to 50% good potting soil. We fertilize once per month with Osmocote. Keep moist, but allow for the pot to dry before replenishing.
There are 5 seeds per pack.
If you intend to purchase more than one pack of seed, please contact us before payment and we will combine seed orders for greatest possible shipping discount!
Welcome to our 2020 plant, seed and bulb offerings from Arghya Gardens!
Welcome to the 2019 season of new seed crosses from Arghya Gardens. As many of you know, we produce hybrid seed for Brugmansia, Hibiscus and Amaryllis. We do so for a number or reasons. First and foremost is saving the serious hybridizer time and financial investment. Many hobbyist hibridizers wish to engage in the creation of new hybrids, but they lack resources or funds for obtaining all of the quality plants they need to indulge their pursuit. Others wish the process of creating hybrid seed themselves wasn't so time consuming. As it may take a full season to hand pollinate and obtain the resulting seed, that season of time doing so is, in a sense, lost to the individual anxious to see final results.
As hybridizers ourselves, we sought a faster way to deliver opportunities to our fellow plant enthusiasts. In a sense, we decided to become a bridge between what can be imagined and what may result when one dabbles in plant genetics. Our seeds are the result of a meticulous process of hand pollination accomplished under controlled circumstances. We use the finest cultivars available, plants that exhibit outstanding growth and bloom characteristics. Over the years, our collection has become a fine one due in large part to the sensible reinvestment of funds received from the sale of their progeny. In a way, our customers, through us, have created a repository of horticultural opportunity from which they may indulge their creative force.
These seeds represent a true saving of time - a most precious commodity when hybridizing is your passion. A season saved means faster production of new hybrids and faster, more efficient use of one's energy as it is expended producing those hybrids. Time is fleeting and the saving of it very reasonable. So, with these thoughts in mind, we wish all participants in the program much luck and a profound hope for success!

Hybridizing rights
Arghya Gardens relinquishes all rights to this seed's production and any resulting cultivars to you the buyer. Once it leaves our hands, it is yours outright. You own it and it's progeny outright. We neither ask for nor expect credit for it's production or plants resulting from it's propagation. Have fun. Create something glorious. Make it your own.
Many, if not all, of these seeds are one of a kind and should be viewed as heirloom seed. As a limited number of seeds are produced, their number disallows germination rate testing. You as a buyer must understand the unique nature of this seed before you elect to purchase. We collect and dry seed as quickly as possible, then post it shortly after. Generally, turnaround is between 10 to 20 days. This process gets the seed to you faster than the average and contributes to a higher rate of viability. We cannot guarantee every seed will sprout. Successful sprouting depends on a variety of factors: sprouting methods, soil, temperature, moisture, general care, etc. We therefore do not issue refunds for seed that fails. Follow accepted sprouting methods for your individual species or variety. If you cannot plant your seeds immediately, we recommend you store them in a Mason Jar in your fridge until you plant. Cool seeds retain viability longer.
As this is a live product, payment is expected within 48 hours of auction's close.
Thank you for your interest in our plants! You've overwhelmed us with orders and support. We wish you the best growing season ever!
Domestic Shipping Of Seed
Our purchased seed is placed in a small ziplock bag with a label indicating the name of the seed. A second label of basic planting information is also affixed. The bag is sealed and, along with your paid invoice, placed into a Kraft padded envelope for mailing. If your seed order amounts to $40.00 or more, we will assign insurance at our cost. We combine seed orders, so feel free to ask for combination of seed purchases. If you do not ask, we ascertain how many packs we can reasonably and safely fit into the envelope and charge for shipping accordingly.
We are not responsible for seed damaged in shipment, or seed lost in the mail. Once it leaves our hands, and insurance or delivery confirmation is assigned, matters concerning lost or damaged packages should be addressed to the USPS. Delivery confirmation and insurance information is included with your shipping receipt, so hang on to it just in case you need it.
International Shipping Of Seed
International shipment of seed can be risky. We do ship internationally, but we cannot guarantee safe or timely delivery. As an informed buyer, you must be aware of a number of factors:
1. Am I permitted growing this plant in my country?
2. What are customs requirements for packaged seed entering my country from abroad?
3. Do I have to supply special instructions for the seller?
We do not supply Phytosanitary documentation for seeds. If seeds cannot pass customs without Phytosanitary documentation, please do not purchase seed. Attempting mailings of seed requiring documentation without the required paperwork may result in destruction of the seed itself. We package our international seed shipments in the same manner as we do our domestic mailings. We will NOT send any seed in white envelopes as they may be crushed during the cancellation process. Our outlined responsibilities as stated for our domestic shipments and rights assigned, apply here as well.
Thank you for your interest in our plants, bulbs and seeds.
