Where can I buy Bougainvillea seeds

[RyanSA]

Hiya all. I have been looking around online. Found hundreds of cheap places where you can buy (fake) seeds. Where can I buy "fresh" seeds. All the real different colors, not blue and silver and all that crap. Just real fresh seeds, preferably color individually packed.

Even if you collect the seeds from any Bougi it doesn’t guarantee the same genetics, so you will end up with random colours anyway, I would suggest to get a cutting and try to root it from the variety you like, this way you will get the same flower colour…

I understand that. Just looking for the standard ones to begin with.

I would still go for cuttings, im noit sure how long doesn it take to start flowering from the seed, it might be years....
Cutting will flower same year and the next one.
Go to garden center, get 1 mature plant and propagate the cutting.
You can always sell the mother plant after.

I agree with the cuttings suggestion, they are super easy to propagate from cuttings. large ones seem to do just fine too. A little rooting hormone (I use honey mostly) and put them in a pot in a bit of shade.
