Confirm the exact variety and seed mix for your selected SKU and order. A choice listed here does not mean every standard pack includes it.
A choice that travels well
Think about
where it will grow.
For gifts sent across India, recipients may have very different climates and planting spaces. Tell us the cities, the handover month and whether the gift is for a desk, home or organised planting activity.
Seed variety and local conditions matter together. Keep capsules cool and dry; plant within one year of purchase for the best chance of germination.
Read the planting methods →Buying seed-paper gifts or grow kits?
They have their own seed choices. Seed-paper choices include basil, marigold and tomato; tulsi is part of the grow-kit selection.

A few things to know.
Can we request a particular seed variety?
Yes. Tell us the seed, pen or pencil format, quantity and delivery location. We confirm the available combination for your order. Standard sets may contain assorted seeds.
Can sunflower seeds go in plantable pens?
The bioQ seed options guide lists sunflower for pencils only. Choose another listed seed for a pen, subject to confirmation for the SKU and order.
Can we choose tulsi for a pen or pencil?
Basil is a listed option for pens and pencils; tulsi is part of the grow-kit selection. Request the named option you need so we can confirm it for the chosen gift.
Which month should I plant them?
Use the seed name, your location and the local growing season together. A sowing month suitable for one part of India may not suit another. Tell us where and when the gifts will be used so we can discuss an appropriate seed.
How should the seed capsules be stored?
Keep them cool and dry until planting, away from moisture and direct heat. For the best chance of germination, bioQ recommends planting within one year of purchase; results still depend on storage and growing conditions.
Can seed gifts be sent outside India?
Tell us the destination before choosing a seed. Seed import requirements vary by country, species and shipment; we confirm what can be supplied for the destination before the order is finalised.
