I have been a customer of Swallowtail Garden Seeds for 8 years. The thing I appreciate the most is their exceptional customer service. I always receive a kind, thoughtful response in my correspondence with them. If I have any problems with seeds germinating, they stand behind their products and always provide a refund or replacement seeds.

I've purchased from Swallowtail Garden Seeds for many years, and have had really good germination results. I appreciate that they provide planting instructions on their packets that is specific to each seed variety. While sowing the first seeds from my most recent order, I was happy to find they added QR codes to their packets. It is nice to have an easy way to access the more detailed information on their website with my phone, even when my fingers are muddy!

I've been ordering flower and vegetable seeds from Swallowtail Garden Seeds for 6 years. Their seeds are freshly packed and germination rates are excellent. They have MANY new varieties each year and their large collection of zinnias is seriously amazing. I also appreciate that they have real humans (!!!) available by phone or email that are knowledgeable gardeners themselves. I'm getting ready to start my seeds under lights this week. Last year's favorite was 'Fireworks' Gomphrena. This year I'm looking forward to 'Fondant Fancy' Cosmos and 'Starflower' Scabiosa.

I've been ordering from Swallowtail for at least 5 years and I'm very happy with the seeds. Good germination and they have some hard to find flower varieties.

This is the second time that I have bought there petunia seeds. They are suppose to be the trailing seeds that are supposed to be in the blue, burgundy, pink, red rose mom, rose star, salmon, and white. Theses have been purple the last two time I ordered. FALSE ADVERTIZING so please be aware before you order from them.
Response from Swallowtail Garden SeedsJun 2, 2025
Hello Scott. I found record of one order under your name and the mix you purchased should include 8 different colors from the Fotofinish petunia series. If all of the plants from these seeds are only producing purple flowers, an error was made when we filled your packets. I am very sorry that you did not receive the correct seeds for this mix. We guarantee all of the seeds we sell and we can help with a full refund or replacement packets. Please contact us at 1-877-489-7333 or [email protected].

I purchased 12 packets of Columbines, multiple packets of Campanula seeds and none of the seeds have grown. VERY FRUSTRATING!!
Response from Swallowtail Garden SeedsJun 2, 2025
Hello Barb. I'm sorry none of the seeds have germinated for you. When growing conditions are ideal, columbine and campanula seeds should germinate within 2 to 4 weeks. All of our seeds are germination tested and we guarantee all of the seeds we sell. For any seeds that do not germinate well within their normal period of germination, we can help with a refund or replacement packets. Please contact us at 1-877-489-7333 or [email protected].

I ordered a package of Maverick Quicksilver seeds (a pink geranium) last summer (2023). I bought a whole lighting and seed starting setup because I was so excited to add these to my white and pink garden. After 4 months of growing the seeds, they ended up being the Bullseye Salmon. Not anywhere close to pink. There is not time to regrow these seeds so I will have to purchase plants. Quite a disappointment to say the least. You would think a seed company would at least label their seeds correctly. I certainly won't purchase any more seeds from them and would caution anyone else who does.

Order a variety of impatiens seeds in Early March. The seeds were well packaged, and received as promised in a very timely manner. Planted the impatiens seeds in 2 inch peat pots under grow lights using a heat mat. The germination rate was excellent. Transplanted the impatiens from 2 inch to 3 inch pots as their roots developed. About 2 weeks after our last frost, transplanted impatiens outside. Did not harden them off prior to transplanting. All impatiens plants are doing extremely well, growing and blooming nicely. Swallowtail will be my go to company for flower seeds and will explore vegetable seeds for next season. They did a good job, and very reliably. Thank you for a hassle free purchase.
