Great product to keep everyone from walking on your property! The itching lasts all day long if you touch it! Great stuff.

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.

I didn't know that these things were actually available to be purchased...they were; I bought them, I planted them...Now, I just have to wait for them to grow, so I can use the nettles to make vegetarian rennet, such to make more homemade cheese...!!! The seeds arrived lightning fast, were extremely well-priced and postage wast negligible...Thumbs up on this purchase...!!!

i have yet to plant the seeds, but so far they look great and they arrived on time as promised.
