In reply to the discussion: Where should I buy my seeds? [View all]spinbaby
(15,089 posts)41. Ive soured on Burpees
Im mainly a flower gardener with a few scattered herbs. Burpees has twice now sold me seeds that didnt grow true. White marigolds came up as an orange mix. Also, last summer I planted jewel mix nasturtiums, which Ive used before because theyre a nice compact nasturtium that minds its manners. Last summers, however, sent out vines 10 or 12 feet, not true to type at all.
