Dear plant and garden enthusiasts,
Over many years, we have had the pleasure of accompanying you on your gardening journey with exotic seed rarities and plants from around the world. Watching things grow together has brought us great joy. But every project has its time—and for us, the moment has come to step back. Due to health reasons, it is with a heavy heart that we have decided to permanently close the sunshine-seeds.de online shop and enter our well-deserved retirement. This decision was not an easy one for us. However, our health now requires our full attention. We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your many years of loyalty, the trust you have placed in us, and your enthusiasm for our green rarities! Important information regarding the shop closure:
Our shop is permanently closed from October 1, 2026.
Customer Service & Support: For questions regarding your orders, you can still reach us as usual even after the shop closes at info@sunshine-seeds.de.
We wish you a continued green thumb, much joy with your plants, and all the best for the future!
Warm regards,
Peter Krebs & Team Sunshine-Seeds
