Johnny's Selected Seeds Reviews

Had Columbine Pink Petticoat in my cart, along with a total of $80 of other seeds, went to check out and got a message that it is no longer in stock and would not allow me to complete checkout without removing it from my cart. So, I did that and finalized my purchase. 3 days later that same seed packet was available again on their website. Went to buy the 1 seed packet and they wanted $6.50 for shipping ONE seed packet (Columbine seeds are super-tiny). Contacted support and they would not waive the shipping – no matter that their website forced me to remove it from my cart. Will never do business with them again.

I feel very bad about having to make this review, but it is important for customers to know the truth. The seed quality of Johnny's used to be very high, but it has really gone down the last several years. Germination well below 75% has been much more common when I order large lots of seed and I have lost hundreds of dollars as a result. I called Johnny's and asked them if they have any better germination, but when I talked with someone in the customer service department, they say that they'll let them know about the bad seed lots, but they continue to sell the bad seed. This has occurred more than once. How can they knowingly sell poor quality seed? I really don't know what to say. It doesn't matter what incredible varieties or what incredible seed people advertise, if the quality is poor. Sorry Johnny's, but you've lost my trust for good.

Disappointed! My brocolli rabe and bok choy seeds did not germinate leaving me without my favorite vegetables for the season.

My order for 4 each pepper and tomato seeds was received without incident. Germination has been a huge issue. For years I have used a seed planting mix successfully. Not so with Johnny Seeds. I plant two seeds per planting “bucket” with four buckets each for peppers and tomatoes. I had 3 seeds germinate out of 8 for the tomatoes and 1 seed germinate for the peppers. Of the Burpee seeds I planted in the same medium with the same growing conditions I had 100% germination. I shall remove Johnny Seeds from my list of seed suppliers. Very disappointing!

Always bought seeds from Johnny's for years but this year Johnny's blocked gardeners from making purchases and I had to go to other sources to be ready for planting. I will never depend on them again.

I always buy a large seed order for our community garden. But, without seeds available to gardens (although we have 2 acres and are small farm size), I had to move on to other companies. I love Johnny's but wonder what's happening there.

Hopefully, will be back next year.

I buy my seeds almost exclusively from Johhny’s. Initially, that was because of their large selection of herbs. I like their selection seeds & plants, and the large library of information available to customers. Johnny’s stands by their products.
