** Our "wet-pack" seed packets are a more complex version of our normal seed packets, and have been designed (and tested)for species whose seeds require additional care and packaging to keep them healthy. Please follow the species-specific germination instructions found on the seed envelope carefully, and be gentle with any roots that may have started to sprout; just because they've produced roots, doesn't mean they're ready to grow!

*We normally carry this item but are temporarily sold out. We expect to have it available again as soon as our plants in production reach sufficient size/maturity or we harvest more seed. In some cases, plants may be recovering from caterpillar damage (Monarchs love our Milkweed), wind or hail damage, rampaging woodchucks, downed trees, or other natural issues. We are constantly updating our web site so please check back again.
