Hawaiʻi Seed Co. recognizes the deep connection between plants and Hawaiian heritage by offering culturally-significant seeds. These varieties hold special importance in traditional Hawaiian practices, including lāʻau lapaʻau (medicinal uses), crafting, and ceremonies. By growing these plants, gardeners can help preserve and perpetuate the rich cultural traditions of Hawaiʻi.

In Hawaiian, "Lāʻau lapaʻau" means "healing plants" or "plant medicine". It is a traditional Hawaiian practice of using plants to treat ailments and injuries. Cultural practitioners, known as kahuna, are trained in the use of native Hawaiian plants and herbs. They also use traditional Hawaiian practices, such as massage, prayer, and meditation, to promote healing.
