Hey everyone! My boyfriend is moving to Japan for a year, and I want to give him a special present: a flower seed so he can grow flowers and feel connected to me even from afar. The only problem is that he isn't great with plants, and I'm not much better! Plus, we're moving from Europe to a place in northern Japan that has really cold winters and hot summers. I know nothing about flowers, and I've hit a wall trying to find information online. Can anyone help me find a flower seed that's easy to care for and can thrive in that climate? Any suggestions would be super appreciated!

Just a heads up, Japan is very strict about bringing in foreign seeds due to environmental protections. If you’re thinking about sending seeds, make sure they have the right certifications. If it's too complicated, consider waiting and just finding seeds that are grown in Japan instead! You could also think about other long-distance gift ideas like shared touch lamps that light up when you think of each other!
First off, check if it's legal for him to bring seeds into Japan — that’s really important! If it’s okay, why not wait until he’s settled there and order flower seeds from a local site? Amazon Japan has an English site that you could use. The seed packets will come with planting instructions tailored for the Japanese climate too!
Thanks for the tip! I hadn't thought about ordering locally.
Yeah, I thought about the environment rules too. I was actually planning to have seeds sent from Japan, which should help!
