Gossypium barbadense
Brown Sea Island Cotton
A heritage cotton species producing exceptionally long, silky fibres with a natural sheen. Native to South America and the Caribbean, it belongs to the mallow family (Malvaceae), related to hibiscus and okra. Sea Island cotton was once prized for the world’s finest textiles and remains a rare heirloom variety, valued for both its beauty and resilience. This selection produces naturally brown cotton, offering a unique alternative to conventional white cotton and reducing the need for dyes. Attractive yellow flowers with dark centres are followed by decorative seed pods that split open to reveal the soft fibre within. Thrives in warm to hot climates with full sun and well-drained soil and can be grown as an annual in cooler regions.
Approximately 12 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: September to February
Subtropics: September to January
Mild climates: Spring to early summer
Cold climates: Late spring after frost has passed
Planting / Sowing
Sow seed directly or raise seedlings in trays once soil temperatures are consistently warm. Plant 10–15mm deep in fertile, well-drained soil in a full sun position. Keep soil evenly moist during germination and early growth. Cotton prefers warm conditions throughout the growing season and benefits from regular watering during flowering and boll development. Allow bolls to fully mature and open on the plant before harvesting fibre. Approximately 140–180 days to harvest depending on climate.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety.

Backhousia citriodora
One of Australia's most celebrated bushfood and aromatic plants, Lemon Myrtle is prized for its intensely fragrant leaves and exceptional lemon flavour. Native to the subtropical rainforests of eastern Australia, this attractive evergreen shrub or small tree produces glossy green lance-shaped leaves that release a powerful citrus aroma when crushed. In its natural habitat it may reach 6–20 metres in height, though it can be readily pruned to maintain a smaller, more manageable size in gardens and containers.
Lemon Myrtle has become increasingly popular in both culinary and herbal applications. The leaves are widely used to flavour teas, desserts, baked goods, sauces, seafood and beverages, providing a clean, vibrant lemon flavour without the acidity of citrus fruit. The plant is also highly valued for its essential oil content, which is among the richest natural sources of citral. In summer, clusters of creamy white flowers appear, attracting bees and adding ornamental appeal to the garden.

Morus alba
White mulberry is a hardy, fast-growing deciduous tree with a long history of cultivation across Asia, Europe and beyond. It is most famously grown as the primary food source for silkworms used in silk production. The tree is also known for one of the fastest movements in the plant kingdom, with its flowers releasing pollen at speeds exceeding half the speed of sound.
The sweet berries are edible once fully ripe, ranging from white to pale pink or purple depending on the individual plant. Fruit can be eaten fresh, dried or used in jams, desserts and baking. The leaves are highly nutritious and have long been used as a high-protein stockfeed for poultry, livestock and other animals. Adaptable and productive, White Mulberry makes an excellent shade tree and can be pruned to suit smaller spaces.

Solanum betaceum
Ecuadorian Orange is a vibrant South American Tamarillo producing heavy crops of glossy, tear-drop shaped orange fruit approximately the size of a large egg. Beneath the skin is beautiful golden-orange flesh with a distinctive tangy-sweet flavour, balancing tropical fruitiness with the characteristic sharpness of Tamarillo.
The fruit can be eaten fresh, spooned from the skin or added to fruit salads, desserts and breakfast dishes. Its sweet acidity also makes it particularly good for sauces, chutneys, jams and preserves, as well as savoury dishes where a bright, fruity acidity is welcome.
Tamarillo, also known as Tree Tomato, is a fast-growing, short-lived perennial tree, typically reaching around 2–3 m tall. Native to the Andean regions of South America, it thrives in warm subtropical and mild temperate climates but is highly sensitive to frost. Plants have relatively shallow root systems and brittle branches, so a sheltered position protected from strong winds is important.
Fruit is produced on new season’s growth, so light pruning helps encourage branching and creates more fruiting wood. With good nutrition, regular moisture and warm conditions, established plants can produce generously, with fruit generally ripening from late summer into autumn.
Approximately 35 seeds per packet

Planting / Sowing
Sow into trays or small pots and cover lightly with seed-raising mix. Keep warm and consistently moist during germination. Transplant once seedlings are sturdy and night temperatures have warmed.
Plant in a sheltered, sunny position with rich, well-drained soil, spacing approximately 2–3 m apart. Keep consistently watered during active growth and fruit development, but avoid waterlogging. Feed regularly and mulch well to protect the shallow root system and conserve moisture.
Prune lightly to shape plants and encourage branching, as fruit develops on new season’s growth. Protect plants from strong winds and frost.

Melaleuca alternifolia
A valuable Australian native renowned as the source of tea tree essential oil. Naturally occurring in coastal wetland areas of New South Wales and Queensland, this attractive evergreen shrub or small tree has long been valued for the aromatic oil contained within its leaves. Tea tree oil is widely used in shampoos, creams, soaps, cosmetics and skincare products and has a long history of traditional use. The plant produces masses of creamy white bottlebrush-like flowers that attract bees and other beneficial insects.
Tea Tree thrives in moist conditions and is particularly well suited to dam margins, rain gardens, wetter areas of the landscape and sites similar to those favoured by Weeping Bottlebrush (Callistemon viminalis). Fast growing and adaptable, it can also be pruned to maintain a compact form.
