Looking for a source in the US. Can’t seem to find any of it out there!

I've gotten mine from Mauiseed Company and from Montoso Gardens. I paid a lot more for the ones from Montoso Gardens, but they sent me two whole pods which was about 80 seeds, and so far I've had 99% germination in three days. I had great luck with Mauiseeds, and definitely recommend it if you're looking for smaller quantities.

In addition- Montoso Gardens has multiple varieties. Just make sure to check with Bryan before/after ordering because not everything listed that you can purchase is in stock.

I just purchased a pod from Montoso! Thanks!

Montoso in PR is a good choice, i've gotten so nice heliconias from them before then they use to sell those.
Sad to say our friendly hurricanes decided to take them when they left.
