  1. Determine exactly what you need: flowers (sun/shade), vegetable seedlings, or plants for flower beds or pots.
  2. Choose the nearest garden center from the list and check availability by phone.

  4. Ask immediately about watering and transplanting requirements for the selected species.
  5. For transport, request packaging and try not to leave seedlings in a closed car under the sun.

What to check before buying

  • Sun or shade: whether the plant is suitable for direct sunlight or prefers partial shade.

  • Transplanting: whether a larger pot is needed or if it can be planted directly in the ground.
  • Season: the best time to plant this species in Northern Cyprus.
  • Hardiness: whether the plant can withstand heat and wind (important for open terraces and gardens).
