By promoting native plants, we ensure greater biodiversity and strengthen the ecosystem – and not just in the rainforest, but right on our doorstep!
Why sow a sustainable future?
The organic seed mixture of native wildflowers provides valuable food for butterflies and the like. The pollen- and nectar-rich native flowers that you will sow or have already sown promote biodiversity in your region. In doing so, you are making our world a little bit better.
Take part & win!
Send us a photo of your blooming wildflowers to mail@tropica-verde.de. We’ll show your pictures on our website – and with a bit of luck you’ll win a rainforest sponsorship including a surprise package!

Here you can see all the wildflowers that are already growing with Tropica Verde seeds.

The winners will be notified and publicly announced by 16.10.2025.
You can win a rainforest sponsorship including a surprise package.
What should I bear in mind when sowing?
- Sow from early April to June in fine-crumb soil (pot, balcony, raised bed, garden and similar)
- Only press the seeds down, do not work them into the soil
