Favorite herb seed vendors

tnpeppers · March 18, 2014

Just curious...for those of you who also grow herbs; which is your favorite vendor for seeds; quality, quantity, and customer service? I'm

from all the choices, and just wanted to see what you folks think.

Cook's Garden has a nice selection of plants available, but I order seeds from anybody that has something I need or don't currently have. Johnny's Selected Seeds has a good selection, as does Fedco.

I'd go first to http://www.sampleseeds.com/
http://www.doublehelixfarms.com/catalog/28

I've had good service form Fedco http://fedcoseeds.com/ If you want to mail order seeds you have until March 21 otherwise it is we only.

Here are a couple of off-the-cuff suggestions. Richters Herbs (http://www.richters.com/) is very good though expensive. The company is located near Toronto but has no problem shipping to the USA.

In the past I have bought from Le Jardin du Gourmet, who was famous for "sample size" packets, currently at 40 cents each. This approach lets a gardener try a lot of different herb varieties without busting the budget. Don't know if they still have a printed catalog. (http://www.artisticgardens.com/)

Thanks, everyone! If there are mort suggestions out there, keep 'em coming!

That's embarrassing...I've ordered 'mater seeds from Remy, but completely overlooked her wonderful selection of herbs. My bad.

If you want organic seeds, Heirloom Seeds: Sustainably Grown, Organic, Untreated and Open-Pollinated Herb Seed has a good selection. They have mostly culinary varieties, rather than the medicinal varieties.

Sample seeds first. Another very good site: www.botanicalinterests.com/ We have had nothing but excellent service and seeds from them.
