Please note, as seeds are live products, the successful
germination and growth depends on various factors such as moisture, light,
growing medium, etc. Therefore we suggest you do research before starting the
process. The RHS Website is a good place to start. For these reasons, as with
all seed companies, we cannot be held responsible for the productivity of the
seeds. There may be some small fragments of flower petal or seed pod in with
the seeds, these are inert and will do no harm. We are only a very small business
and thank you for your order.
