What happens if my seeds don't germinate?

Barney’s Farm offers a germination guarantee in cases where none—or an exceptionally high percentage—of seeds fail to germinate. If only a small number of seeds do not germinate, this is typically due to factors outside our control, such as individual growing techniques, environmental conditions, or grower experience.

All Barney’s Farm seeds undergo strict quality control, including germination testing, prior to release and are not brought to market until consistently high germination rates (over 99%) have been achieved. Our website provides detailed germination guidance, as factors such as temperature and humidity play a significant role in germination success.
