The descriptions don’t match up for many of the seeds. I messaged the seller to get clarification on many of the items I purchased (over 50). I am well versed in planting- but the seller’s answers were simply copy and pasted directly from the WIKIPEDIA site. She provided no clarification to her contraindications listed for hardiness, sowing information, and simple plant information that was wrong….I’m very disappointed. Especially the copy and pasting from wikipedia to a customer for an answer. She clearly does not know what she is doing with seeds and gardening. I’m sticking with reputable sellers that can give me correct info and descriptions.
Seeds have also been short, for example the cucamelon, strawberries, red bee balm, bee balm mixed colors

I ordered dianthus seeds and received some zinnia seeds as well. I haven’t planted the dianthus yet but the zinnia seeds are coming up 3 days after planting.
