UPDATE I got everything except 1 seed type to germinate as of 9/21 - almost a month later after planting. Turns out some of them took basically a few different science experiments of sorts with different conditions to germinate. What got them there was keeping them inside under grow lights 12 hrs a day, ample tray of water and lastly, plastic wrapping the top of the seed pots to create an almost greenhouse environment. Still took weeks for some but was pretty happy to finally see my Ashwaganda germinate after I think 2 weeks of those conditions. Keeping them outside did not germinate anything. Bummed my 1 seed type didn't germinate but I also don't know if that's a me problem. Seeds are tiny, either they fell out of the original packaging or the 1 seed that was left just hasn't germinated yet. Original Review: Ordered a bunch of seeds and tried all sorts of different germination methods inside and outdoors to get them to germinate and none have sprouted. Disappointing and won't buy from them again.

I've ordered seeds from Tradewinds about 6 times and I have always received my order. I live in NZ so if the info isn't correct my seeds will be confiscated - that has never happened with Tradewinds orders. A very small proportion haven't germinated which I'd expect from any seed.

I've bought seeds from this company several times now and they've never disappointed. The website is full of good information, shipping is fast, the orders are always correct and the seeds are of good quality, clean and healthy. That kind of business professionalism gets harder to find every day. And icing on top, they have a big selection of hard to find and unusual seeds, especially tropicals, at a reasonable price. Often I'll see some super cool fruit tree seeds somewhere else with a crazy price tag, then come to Tradewinds and find it for half the price.

This is a seriously underrated seed company. Good prices for the amount of seed you get and free shipping over $25. Shipping was fast too. I have had low/no germination with an exotic variety but all garden seeds have been excellent. I also got a free seed variety with my last order which is a great surprise!
