** Our "wet-pack" seed packets are a more complex version of our normal seed packets, and have been designed (and tested)for species whose seeds require additional care and packaging to keep them healthy. Please follow the species-specific germination instructions found on the seed envelope carefully, and be gentle with any roots that may have started to sprout; just because they've produced roots, doesn't mean they're ready to grow!
