If you are having issues germinating your seeds we suggest lightly scuffing the shell with 120 grit sandpaper before placing them in a shot glass filled with bottled water and a drop of hydrogen peroxide for 24-48 hours. If no tap roots are showing, place your seeds gently in a damp paper towel, storing them in a dark place (like a closet) for another 24-48 hours or until you see a tap root. Once you see a taproot, carefully transplant into the medium of your choice.

Due to the nature of the business, we can not offer refunds or returns but do offer replacements if for any reason you are not satisfied. As all seeds look alike we can not ensure that the seeds were not tampered with or stored improperly.

We apologize for this and offer this satisfaction guarantee: Your gift will ship in perfect condition as they came from the breeder, no premature or damaged seeds will ever be shipped to you and if for any reason you’re not satisfied, kindly email us and we’ll make it right!
