REMINDER: Please remember that seeds are living, perishable products. When germinating seeds, it's crucial to carefully FOLLOW the provided INSTRUCTIONS, as each variety has specific growing guidelines. Using alternative methods that may lead to failure is discouraged, & we cannot be held responsible for such outcomes. Additionally, it's important to understand that we are not responsible for how the buyer cares for the plant, as we have no control over its environment or care. We recommend conducting any necessary research before making a purchase. It's NORMAL for seeds NOT to GERMINATE SIMULTANEOUSLY, & the process may take days, weeks, or even months, as this variation is part of nature. ATTENTION: Our shop offers a variety of hybrid plants & flower seeds. While some hybrids occur naturally in the wild, our nurseries typically create them through manual pollination. 1. These hybrid seeds & plants tend to have shorter lifespans due to their delicate nature. 2. It's essential to be aware that there is a slight possibility that hybrid plants or flowers may be sterile. Even if they produce seeds, those seeds may not yield the same plant the following year. This is because the seeds contain a mix of less predictable characteristics from the grandparent plant, rather than resembling the parent plant. Although we make every effort to test the seeds, nature sometimes follows its own course. These genetically engineered specimens are well worth the occasional uncertainty, given the potential for perfection. NOTE: As mentioned on our Etsy account, we collaborate closely with two family nurseries for our production. Please be reminded that if you purchase more than 1 seed, it's possible not to receive them on the same day, as
