poor germination

Second year in a row I have ordered geranium seeds from OSC and only get approximately 40% germination rate. 10 seeds for 2.99 plus shipping. This will be my last year I will order from them and I usually like to plant 100 seeds of geraniums. So disappointing!

My review will include seeds I bought for my lawn renovation. Hope I can help anyone needing advice. I bought the perennial ryegrass & the competition blue grass. I mixed the two seeds and these were the results. I am going to overseed again over in the fall. To get these results I upped the amounts on the instructions on the bag. I aerated, used **starter fertilizers**(not regular) & to cover the seed the most important thing to use is a light layer of peat moss to hold the seed & prevent birds from eating the seed. Finally I rolled it in with a lawn roller rental from Home Depot. OSC seeds are excellent and well worth the money. Delivery was quick & easy.

I paid $18.99 plus shipping for 1kg of J-5 chewings fescue which I planted late August 2022. I think that I was sent an old bag of seeds because the germination was so poor; my guess is 10%. The little that did germinate was very lovely, so i'm quite disappointed. I ordered their Audubon creeping red fescue and Evolution perennial mix and those germinated wonderfully - fine, dark emerald green blades (before/after pics attached) Update: Thank you for sending me a replacement bag of J-5 Chewings fescue seed; I adjusted my rating accordingly.

I ordered Jalapeño seeds from them. Started the seeds myself, with the intent of selling tons of Jalapeños. They were NOT in fact Jalapeño seeds....they weren't even hot pepper seeds. Sweet cubanelle peppers in fact. Had absolutely no use for them. I contacted the company and they acknowledged that it didn't look like Jalapeño pepper plants...but said due to no one else having voiced any issues, they were doing absolutely NOTHING...no discount, no reimbursement, nothing. To say I was very disappointed was an understatement. I was ordering several hundred dollars of seed each year. They've lost my business and I'll never order seeds from them again.

Had a grass seed mix up, very unfortunate and unlucky. Customer service was fantastic, thank you James for your great customer service, and empathy to the situation. Kentucky blue grass after 10 days of planting the seeds. Tonnes of work, and patience. I suggest if you tackle anything like this to start a bit earlier than ideal temperature timing. Just incase something unexpected happens. I'd post the backyard too but it just got seed down a few days ago, thank God I started early!

Love that this company is ontario! It's becoming so expensive to buy seeds, and at least these are quality seeds, and you're not paying extra for currency conversion from us to ca.... fast shipping
