Hortus Sementi — Italian seeds for the garden since 1992
Hortus Sementi began in Italy with seeds for home gardeners. Today, HortuSì packs and distributes seeds for vegetable plots, pots, flower beds and lawns from its site in Longiano.
From Cesena to Longiano
Suba Sementi founded Hortus Sementi in Cesena in 1992 to supply packaged seeds for home gardeners. The company moved to Longiano in 2000 and opened its new facility there in 2005. In 2019, it joined forces with Sipas Packaging and became HortuSì.
Seeds for different gardens
The Hortus range includes vegetable, pulse, herb and flower seeds as well as lawn mixtures. Maxi Busta Orto covers a wide selection of vegetables, while Gran Raccolto offers larger quantities for gardeners with more ground to sow.
Checks in the laboratory and the field
HortuSì describes checks for seed germination and purity. Field trials complement these checks by comparing the plants that grow with the characteristics of the stated variety.
