Izhar, the price of grass seeds with Abdul seed store is Rs.160/100gm last time. But I don’t understand what they are saying. Seeds are American grass Persian carpet, American & Persian what type of grass is this? Also they have other seasonal flower seeds in their own packing, claiming seeds imported from abroad. Prices are very low & of course quality is very poor. So I decide not buy from them.

Sara, please tell us the Id of grass, if it is a good variety we can also buy some seeds from them.
thanks :) i kinda like the idea of recycling things adds a whimsical look to the garden ! i will take a few pictures and put them up so you can see what type of grass it is.

ps. i bought some seeds from them earlier kochia, zinnia , gaillardia they all sprouted .. infact the zinnia did very very well and i take off the flower heads when dry and pot the up and volla i have had loads of zinnias now :D . they carry some local brand dijk or something .
