Arrived in the same condition as the pictures, and I’m across the world, so that is excellent.
Mirian –
The seller is very responsive and professional. My Ugu seeds arrived on time and viable as promised. I am so happy with my purchase. The Ugu seeds have germinated within 10 days of planting. I highly recommend this seller.
Michael –
Great experience. Timely shipping and fantastic germination rate. It took a while to find this plant – I’m happy that I did and that it is growing great!
Justin –
all the beans I ordered arrived in excellent condition (despite being across the world). and the mixes of beans are well mixed it seem as though I was given every color shown in the photos and the packaging is far above average for a seed company.
also thank you for what you do, it’s extremely important that we have people like you who are sharing useful seeds to people around the world.
