Seed Needs Herb Seeds Variety Pack Culinary Herb Collection (12 Individual Packets for Planting Indoors or Outdoors) Grow Your Own Herb Garden - Heirloom, Non-GMO

I’ve been really pleased with this basil seed variety pack. It includes a nice assortment of basil types, so it’s fun to grow more than just the standard sweet basil. I’ve already planted several of the varieties, and they’ve all germinated well.My biggest challenge wasn’t the seeds—it was the tiny bugs that kept eating the young seedlings. I had to replant a couple of the varieties more than once, including the purple basil. After putting diatomaceous earth around the seedlings, they finally had a chance to grow and are doing much better.With our 80+ degree weather, I’ve found that watering the newly planted seeds every day is important to keep the soil consistently moist until they get established.The seed packets arrived in excellent condition, and each packet contains far more seeds than I could use in a single growing season. I haven’t had the opportunity to grow every variety yet, but I’ve successfully started about half of them so far, and they’ve all shown good germination. I’m looking forward to trying the rest as the season continues.If you’re looking for a basil collection that offers plenty of variety and adequate quantities of seed, this is a great choice.

Great collection of seeds. Everything growing great!

Unfortunately, half of the seeds never germinated but I contacted the company and they refunded for the order. They guarantee their seeds and it is so awesome to know that they mean it!

All types grew 100%

All 8 varieties germinated and are growing in my vegetable garden.

I can't really assess all the qualities of the potential future mature plants, as I have only had this set of seeds for less than a month, but then again, with gardening there are so many factors that influence the final product. It's fair to judge seeds as good if they germinate and arrive well packaged and undamaged. I have put little areas of the various basil varieties in a few planters. They seem to all germinate well (but do expect that because these are different strains of basil some will grow faster than others). The seedlings look good. The seeds appear to be basil seeds (I usually grow a lot of basil and these look like they should). They are really well packaged too! The seed collection came wrapped in a sealed envelope. Each variety of seed is in its own designated sleeve--colorfully printed, the same paper sleeve as the usual seeds you can buy at any retailers, but with one notable difference: the top flap is gummed and resealable! The gummed sleeve is very convenient and makes these seeds easy to reseal if you don't sow them all at once. Lastly, these are a good value for the price. If you bought a single mature plant of any of the varieties here, you might pay on average $6 per plant where I live. So, while I do buy some larger basil plants from a greenhouse, I also like to grow my own from seed. It is truly a very very versatile plant. I would recommend this brand and seller. I will probably buy more of their seeds next year after having a good experience with this set of seeds.

I’ve tried all of the seed varieties from this set in my Growell hydroponic system. The basil, Italian parsley, cilantro, and dill were the most vigorous growers from my first round of plants. The chives sprouted, but didn’t thrive—I’m not sure if that’s because the hydroponic environment isn’t ideal for them or if the seeds are old. Of the oregano seeds I planted (about 4-6 in all), only one sprouted, and that sprout turned into a very spindly, weak plant.I’m now on my second round of planting, and the savory didn’t sprout at all (about 4-6 seeds sown). The borage is off to a startlingly strong start, and everything else has germinated successfully.Notably, there are no date markers on any of the packets, which is odd—every time I’ve purchased seeds in the past, there’s been a clear indication of the year the seeds should be planted. I suspect these seeds are not fresh, or perhaps there’s a mix of ages. It’s also possible that some seeds were mishandled, such as being exposed to excessive heat.The price is good, but the unpredictability of seed quality is problematic. I would not re-purchase this set for that reason.

8 varieties of basil is great. We have a greenhouse......

All the seeds were growing and fully nurtured. Good quality

جودة البذور ممتازة واختيار الأنواع مميزا لكن كمية البذور قليلة

After 4 days seeds started sprouting. Very Happy with this product.
