Basil

"I killed these faster than they grew. It was my own fault but they didn't work for me. I appreciated trying these And I would still recommend to others."

— Nicole S. (3/5)

Trying my hand at aquaponics.

"Since i can no longer garden outside, I've decided to try my hand at aquaponics/ hydroponics. I'm using my large aquarium. Hopefully, I will have fresh herbs for my dishes. There is a reasonable amount of seeds to each pack. In the past, I always used heirloom seeds but thought I would give these a try. Will update after my seeds sprout to let you know how well they germinate and grow."

— Lottie H. (4/5)

Easy to sow.

"It was very easy to sow these seeds , it comes enough to make a seedbed of them , I really liked the packaging that keeps them fresh , it only remains to wait to see how they germinate ."

— Melai S. (5/5)

Lime Basil

"I'm excited to grow this Basil as I have never seen tried lime basil before. I have these currently germinating in tiny pots and will transfer into a large terra cotta pot once they sprout. The packaging is in a normal size seed envelope and contains enough seeds to sprout multiple seedlings. It takes about 2 weeks to germinate. So, hopefully by May/ June we will have some basil to try that carries a hint of lime. ????? ????"

— Brooke I. (4/5)

Fresh Organic basil seeds with quick germination r

"This organic lime basil seeds from Ferry-Mose is very easy to grow. Simply lay the seeds on small container fill with potting soil , moist the soil and covered to keep the humidity until sprouting. Within about 6 days, the seeds start to germinate. I can't wait to see all of them sprout and use it for my culinary journey. It should be ready to harvest within 60 days. Thanks to Influenster for sending this product for testing in exchange for my honest opinion."

— Felix S. (5/5)

Slow to germinate, growing well

"These took the longest to germinate (received cucumbers and peas). They took a little bit of time to sprout, but now that they have, they are steadily growing. Once these grow more, I'm excited to cook and infuse water with these basil lime leaves."

— Joy D. (5/5)

Looking forward to growing this basil for my recip

"I love making Italian dishes and was excited to have an opportunity to receive these Ferry-Morse Basil, Lime seeds. Love that they are organic and I look forward to germinating this basil and using it in my recipes. Ferry-Morse is been a seed company for as long as I remember and they have a great reputation for quality products."

— Barbie B. (5/5)

Quality seeds

"The instructions were pretty good but apparently I didn't do something right as I still have no sprouts. They look and feel like quality seeds so I will have to try again. Not sure if I am watering too much."

— Angela M. (4/5)

Basil-Lime plant seeds

"I've been ready to begin a basil plant in the kitchen. These seeds will be the perfect start up. No more store bought basil once the set up is completed. Basil and lime scented so we can't go wrong. I'm so excited!"

— Sasha L. (3/5)
