My husband and I have a small garden and run a flower shop. Finding a reliable seed supplier has often been a challenge, but this issue was resolved in 2023. We have made multiple purchases from imseeds and have been very satisfied each time; the germination rate of the seeds is very high, reaching 98%! imseeds will be our choice for the foreseeable future.
