Kiwi Seeds (Actinidia chinensis)Kiwi is a vigorous, long-lived climbing vine prized for its lush foliage, fragrant spring flowers, and the potential to produce large, fuzzy or gree n-fleshed kiwi. Growing kiwi from seed is a rewarding process best suited for gardeners who enjoy cultivating plants from the very beginning.Seed-grown Actinidia chinensis plants are genetically variable, meaning each vine is unique. Fruit quality, size, and plant sex will vary, and both male and female plants are required for fruiting. With 100 seeds, you will have plenty of male and female plants. Even before fruiting begins, kiwi vines are highly ornamental and ideal for trellises, arbors, fences, and food forest plantings.This species requires winter chilling to perform well and is less cold-hardy than hardy kiwi varieties. It is best suited to gardeners in mild to warm climates (7-10) with adequate winter chill and plenty of growing space.Growing InformationBotanical Name: Actinidia chinensisCommon Name: Golden Kiwi, Fuzzy KiwiPlant Type: Woody perennial vineLight: Full sun to partial shadeSoil: Rich, well-drained soilHardiness: USDA Zones 7–10 (Zone 6 with protection)Growth Habit: Vigorous climberSupport: Trellis, arbor, or fence requiredGrowing InstructionsWhen to Plant: Late winter to early springSeed Prep: Cold stratification recommended (4–6 weeks)Sowing Depth: Surface sow or cover very lightlyGermination Temperature: 65–75°FGermination Time: 14–30 days (can be uneven)Water: Keep evenly moist during germinationSpacing: 10–15 feet apartWhy Grow Golden Kiwi from SeedBeautiful, fast-growing ornamental vinePotential to produce large, flavorful kiwi fruitExcellent for food forests and trellised landscapesLong-lived perennial with abundant fruit productionShipping is always combined — one flat fee no matter how many packets you order.
