Seed Needs, Culinary Basil Herb Seed Packet Collection (8 Individual Basil Seed Varieties for Planting) Non-GMO & Untreated

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.

Perfect. Not 1 dud! A++++ seeds and seller!!

I am growing seeds of holy basil and they started germinating in one week. I am new to gardening and these seeds are legit and worth the hype.

I never even knew basil came in so many varieties, great germination rate and my young upcoming plants look wonderful. Not all of them sprouted but I would say 75% have flourished from seedlings. I've transplanted them into four inch pots and will slowly acclimate them to the great outdoors as I feel within a few weeks they will be ready. There are five types I haven't even had a chance to plant yet! I have the lime, Italian large leaf and opal going strong, but I am excited to try the others as well.

I love the variety of basil seeds. Some of them have grown well, others not so much. There are many seeds for each variety. Since I have a small garden, they last for a long time. I would recommend it if you use a lot of basil.

50% germination rate. Seeds were in a highly controlled starting cell environment and very low germination rates.

All of the seeds I planted from this have turned into healthy and hardy plants. The basil taste exactly as it should and the lemon basil is honestly amazing. I got the pack just for that and it was well worth it. Plus I have seeds left over to plant next year.

Out of all the packs, only a few sprouted and then fizzled out. Very experience grower and even a chimpanzee could grow basil. Terrible product.
