## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seeds sprouted fine
*by N***T on August 12, 2019*

I've got a nice crop of shiso for umeboshi! This is the second time I've purchased this brand and have success both times. There was no great secret for planting, as the seeds are pretty forgiving. I sprinkled them around, sprinkled a bit of top soil, then watered. In about a week, the sprouts popped and about two months later I'm ready for a partial harvest. My only mistake was planting in a less than perfect area, as the space doesn't get full sun during the day. I think the plants would be a bit taller had I found a better spot. In any case, this shows how forgiving this plant can be. I hope you enjoy similar success!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a work in progress.
*by G***D on April 20, 2025*

The seeds have germinated and I’m looking forward to transplanting them.My first time planting this.Excited for the outcome and the harvest.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Actually sprouted
*by L***S on June 13, 2022*

Followed instructions on packet and almost every seed sprouted. Got this after another packet of seeds failed to germinate. Seedlings are looking healthy and strong.
