Johnny's Selected SeedsReviews of johnnyseeds.com

How are you going to claim to be a great seed company when you don’t know the difference between Tatume Squash and crimson sweet watermelon? Just no.

This year (2025) I went to buy my usual order of $60-$65 of Johnny's seeds for my garden here in Sherman, Me. I was annoyed by a shipping charge of $23.50 and went instead to Burpee, bought same veggies for half the price -shipping was 40 % of Johnny's shipping charges. Germination rates proved to be the same... Conclusion: Johnny's overpriced on both levels. when I asked why the representative of Johnny's offered me a discount if order was over $200. I grow this garden for my home use and spending $200 for seeds is not economically feasible.

I am shocked with the reviews on Johnnyseeds. I have been purchasing 150-200 in seeds every winter for the coming year and just placed my garlic order for this coming fall. I find the quality of their varieties great and the genetics seem proven. I guess experiences can vary but I have never had a bad experience with them.

One star from me, they are very unprofessional and liars...not recommend it to anyone!!!

there should be an option for zero stars. this is a horrible company with horrible customer service. today's date is may 2nd, 2025 and my seeds were supposed to have arrived by march 31st. 2025. apparently they were lost in the mail.. ok.. i'll bite. after calling customer service and getting several morons that are more concerned with their pronouns, i still do not have my replacement set of seeds. i was provided with a usps tracking number by one of the pronoun centered cust svc reps, and after 2 weeks of waiting, the usps has told me that johnny's seeds, out of maine, which prides itself on being an employee owned company, did not pay sufficient postage for the package, so it is now in some dead letter office. after writing several emails and leaving several messages with the csr dept because it always goes to vm, i am relegated to writing complaints about this company and tomorrow i will have to start a dispute with my credit card company to get my money back.. fun times for sure. there is a reason this clown-show-of-a-company has 1.8 stars.. it sucks

Purchased 4 packs of seeds, 2 “Big Beef F1” tomato & 2 “Pantera F1” jalepeno. Used a Burpee 72 cell seed starter, used this product for many years with great results. This year, rather than purchase seeds a local hardware, decided to try a “premium” brand seed. Mid-March planted the seeds, 2 or 3 each per cell, same process I have used every year. Day away from May & NOTHING, only one cell with two tomato sprouts! Call “Johnny’s” said they recommend using “lights”, keeping the soil warm…blah blah. Don’t recommend their products

Long delays with shipping, ridiculous shipping costs, website glitch makes it easy to ship to wrong address, horrible customer service, and poor germination rates.

I’ve gotten zinnia seeds from Johnnys for two years. My last order was for 2 thousand seeds. The envelope weighed 2 ounces. I took the envelope to my post office They said it cost no more than $5.35 to send it to me. Johnnys charged me $15.00. That’s my last order.
