March 2024 For the Kiwi gardeners who like New Zealand Spinach we now have some to purchase and grow. Franchi import this seed from a excellent seed supplier here in New Zealand. Seems quite ironic I'm importing seed that's grown here. LOL

July 2020 the 20/21 catalogue is now available to download from this website. This is version one and we will do a final version when our order arrives but suspect this won't be until summer.

June 2020 update if the variety you are looking for is not on this website it means we have sold out. Currently Italy is working at about 20% for testing requirements so we are unsure when our next order wil be processed and received. We will be putting up a new version 1 catalogue in the next few weeks and this will be updated. Sorry about this but we are working with a family-run seed company whose priorities are in Italy and naturally this is most important at this time.
