This review is from: 200 Seeds, Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) Seeds by Seed Needs
Many people might scoff at buying the seeds of a plant that is considered by many to be a pest...however, Stinging Nettle makes a wonderful tea and addition in many recipes. Because it is considered a pest where I live it is difficult to find it...much less deal with the raised eyebrows when I inquire about locating it.
These little seeds arrived in a typical seed packet: scientific name, contents, instructions for growing. The package is quite adorable though...as if it was hand-painted (sure it wasn't though). The seeds are in excellent condition. There is no trauma or fungus apparent anywhere on them or on the package. The seed pack was enclosed in a bubble-wrap envelope. I was provided the company's website as well. Due to the harsh weather in my area this year I have not been able to sow these seeds yet...so I can't comment on their productivity...however, as long as I keep these little guys dry and cool I am sure they will flourish in the spring. I give 5 stars for the prompt delivery, condition of the seeds and the measure taken to protect them during transit, and the information on how to grow them.

Seeds sprouted in 8 days. Plants are strong. Growing some in pots and others in the garden. Still young but plants look healthy.
