Our seeds are all germination tested, with most seeds having around an 80% germination rate.
Your germination rates will depend on lots of environmental factors.
We mostly recommend raising seedlings over direct sowing.
Please note your flowers won’t always look the exactly same as our flowers in our photos, they can be different colours, shade’s and forms and that’s what makes nature so wonderful!
