Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for some rare and unique seeds and thought I'd reach out for recommendations. Specifically, I'm looking for blue lotus (Nymphaea nouchali var. caerulea). I've checked out strictlymedicinalseeds.com, but they only offer N.nucifera, which is the yellow variety. I'm also interested in Henna (Lawsonia Inermis), Dyer's woad (Isatis Tinctoria), and possibly marshmallow (Althea Officinalis). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Before you order, it's a good idea to check reviews on Garden Watchdog over at Dave's Garden. They have a section dedicated to sourcing specific plants and seeds which might help you find what you’re looking for!
Woad and marshmallow are usually pretty easy to find. For the woad, I'd suggest checking out Grand Prismatic, and Siskiyou Seed is a good bet for marshmallow. It's surprising that strictly medicinal doesn’t stock this one.
I just looked and strictly medicinal does have marshmallow! I must have missed it. Guess I’m off to order from a few different places, which isn't ideal, but here we go!
Yeah, I checked, but it seems like everyone is out of stock with no updates on restocking. It's so frustrating!
