Seed quality

One indication of the quality of the seeds you have purchased is the percentage of seeds that germinate.  Most seed producers will specify the minimum percentage of seeds that will germinate under optimal conditions.

  • weather conditions
  • moisture / humidity levels
  • germinating mixture used.

Hybrid seeds

Hybrid seeds are seeds produced by crossing two (or more) parents of the same species but different varieties. Unlike open pollinated and heirloom seeds, seeds from a hybrid plant will not come back true to the parent type. Seeds from a Hybrid plant are viable but you will get at least three different varieties from that seed.
Hybrid seeds that you buy will grow up to be the type plant advertised on the seed packet, it is the offspring of a hybrid seed that will not come back true to type.

To produce hybrid seeds, plants are crossed with another to achieve the benefits of both families.
For example:
Family a is disease resistant.
Family b is tolerant to drought.
Cross pollinate a and b and you have a plant that might be disease and drought tolerant.

Organic seeds

Organic seeds are grown on organic farms and cannot be treated or GMO. They can be either Open pollinated or hybrid. The plants from which these seeds are derived have never been in contact with any man made herbicide, pesticide or fertilizer whether through direct application or animal waste. The seeds are from those plants that have never been treated with any chemical or hormone to help prevent disease or promote growth.
