What the information on a seed pack means

Seed packs contain useful information to help you understand the product before sowing. Here are some of the details worth checking.

Germination & Growing Conditions

Seed performance can vary depending on temperature, moisture, soil, sowing depth, sunlight, storage and other growing conditions. Results may therefore differ between locations.

Batch or Lot Information

Where provided, batch or lot information can help identify the particular product or packing batch. Keep the original packaging for reference.

Packing & Storage

Keep seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage can help maintain seed condition.

Sowing Instructions

Check the product information for suitable sowing depth, spacing, watering, sunlight and growing conditions. Following appropriate growing practices can improve the chances of successful establishment.

An Important Point

Germination and plant growth depend on both the seed and its growing environment. Results cannot be guaranteed because growing conditions vary.
