What is "Below Standard Seed"?

Simply put, it is seed that doesn't meet our state's (Utah) germination standard, a standard that varies slightly from seed to seed. Any seed intended for gardening with a below-standard germination rate cannot be sold alongside those that meet the state requirements (which often reflect the national requirements for germination).

We send samples of all our seed to the Utah Department of Agriculture, where they perform several tests to assess the quality of the seed. These state-wide and national seed standards are in line with Association of Official Seed Analysts (AOSA), which exist to ensure consumers that they are getting the highest quality seed, as advertised. Since this seed doesn't meet the state standard, we mark it as "Below Standard Seed".

Low germination seeds are non-refundable.

Tokyo Long White Bunching is excellent for farmers' markets or keeping a supply out in the garden for fresh eating. Use the tops on spuds, or sauté them in olive oil in your favorite dish. We use them in omelets with some smoked bacon. Tokyo is resistant to Pink Root Rot Smut. Remember, Tokyo is an excellent bunching onion for three seasons of the year, but it does not overwinter well.
