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 seed that meets state requirements (which often reflect national germination requirements).

We send samples of all our seed to the Utah Department of Agriculture (opens in a new tab), where they perform several tests to assess the quality of the seed. These statewide and national seed standards are in line with the Association of Official Seed Analysts (AOSA), which exists 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.

Various Uses for Baby Bear Pumpkin:
