Frequently Asked Questions
Most varieties sprout within 4–7 days under warm, consistently moist soil. Cooler conditions or older seed can push this to 10–14 days, so don't judge germination until you're past the two-week mark.
Keep the foil packet sealed, dry, and out of direct sunlight — a drawer or pantry works well. For longer-term storage, an airtight jar in the refrigerator keeps seeds viable for several seasons.
Both work. Starting indoors 4–6 weeks before your last frost gives seedlings a head start in cooler climates; direct sowing outdoors once the soil has warmed is simplest where the season is long enough.
Low germination is almost always down to soil temperature, moisture, or planting depth rather than seed quality. Recheck the planting guide above, and if a fresh attempt still fails within 30 days of delivery, unopened packets qualify for our standard return.
