hello donna, if you can get the website to accept an order to NZ we will send the seeds and we can not guarantee receipt–NZ customs is disallowing seeds. richo

We are in WV at nearly 4000 ft. We are considering planting this around a 50+ year old small grove of pine trees. It is not near a stream but should be a cool dappled area. Any thoughts or suggestions on success or optimizing opportunity for success? Thanks much

Sounds like a good spot for Chimaphila. Find a place near one of the trees where the bark is adhering to the ground, pull it back, sprinkle the seeds there, and put the bark back on top. r

one might try inoculating the starting mix with soil from around old growth conifers. That way you get the mycorrhizal associations that these tiny seeds need for germination and growth. r
