JACK'S SEEDS

Very disappointed in their seeds.Sent in tiny plastic bags that have name scribbled on it. Could not really tell what they said. I am a master gardener and only succeeded in figuring out what seeds each bag contained by illumination. Thank God I only purchased 7 pkgs.bags.VERY FEW seeds in each bag also.Took a long time to arrive and certainly not worth $4.99 a bag.ALSO very disappointed that absolutely no instructions were included with the seeds..if I had been a beginner I would not have known where to start.I gave the one star because otherwise I would not have been able to leave a review.

Chinese product

I ordered some seeds and they were not what the packages said. The writing on the package was in Chinese. I was beyond disappointed. I would give 0 stars if I could.

I ordered a package of 20 seeds from Jacks Seeds. It was a blue hibiscus plant. I planted 10 of the 20 seeds. Only one plant sprouted. I finally bloomed today. It was supposed to produce exotic bluish flowers. It bloomed a non remarkable, very pale, yellow, flower. It did NOT resemble the photo in any form. Terrible disappointment and a waste of a lot of time and effort.

Don't order seeds if you want to use them the same year. We ordered seeds 2 months ago and still haven't received them. They sent an email saying they are arriving soon, that was a month ago. No answer to requested tracking info either. Never again.

I'm giving 3 stars for my experience so…

I'm giving 3 stars for my experience so far. I just planted my pumpkins and they better work or I'm going to have some disappointed nieces. What confused me was the website looked like a family owned farm in the Midwest. When my package arrived the return address was in China and the label on the outside listing contents said iPhone covers and small tools. My first thought was "did I just buy illegal seeds"? I will give another review whenever I have some results from the pumpkins.

I have ordered from them a couple times I did get seeds however the first order was unmarked I had no clue which seeds were which I contacted them and they sent me an apology and what each of the packages contained. I was like ok now I know, the seeds are now in the ground lets see what happens so far the stevia seeds are not sprouting yet.. out of 100 cactus seeds 2 sprouted but after a year are only 1/2 inch tall. I now cant even remember what I planted or where. I am assuming nothing else sprouted or I would know what they are.. this year I ordered the giant hibiscus, they were bulbs waiting to see if they are what they said. Now that I have read the reviews of other people I will never order from them again. today I got a package that said Beads... inside was a package of Monkey Face orchid seeds. I looked up how to plant Orchid seeds, OMgosh its complicated and it starts with the seeds in a protective covering. my seeds are just maybe 1/8th inch seeds and brown no covering. its a mystery for sure.

Ordered seeds from Jack Seed

Ordered seeds from Jack Seed. The website never mentioned from where the items will be delivered. From the site its looks like from USA. But, when receive the e-mail shows China Post. Immediately, e-mailed the company back to cancel the order. I did not care about the money, but if Jack Seed mentioned that seeds are coming from China, would have never ordered, due to covid issues.

The same complaints from everyone.

The same complaints from everyone.
No website or phone number,it's all fake.
I have to swallow the bad decision I made.
Pinterest is where I saw this ad. Amazon is also "selling" these seeds. Is there not a business that checks out if this is credible before using your website to use as a scam. How many complaints and no one has anything to shut them down.
If used my credit card. I'm calling the bank and letting them know about this scam. There isn't any problem to use your card for other scams.
What a shame.at the end of this review it says that Jack seeds info will be sent to them. How? Their website is fake, no website.

Bogus seed company

After months I got 3 small vacuum packs of seeds from China (on customs declaration said "phone accessory") that were labelled as different grasses but all looked like the same seed I did not plant it as I was wary of what may have been sent.

Overall, very happy

I know there's a lot of bad reviews on Jack Seed and I'm going to give my review. Yes, I agree, the seeds could be labelled better. I had to google what the seeds looked like for the plants I got. Kind of annoying.

HOWEVER, the seeds arrived promptly and everything I ordered, was there.

Furthermore, I did a little research on how to properly grow the rose seeds and strawberry seeds I got because there really aren't any instructions on their site or on the packaging. It took 4 months in the fridge for the rose seeds and then I planted them in a pot on the window sill. I didn't have much hope for it growing. To my surprise, they grew and are still growing. My strawberry plants also grew. Everything I planted grew. It took a little patience and some research on my end but they are definitely growing.

So, overall, I'm very happy. There are lots and lots of bad reviews out there but I had a very positive experience. Maybe I just got lucky. Who knows. All I can say is do your research and if you really want to try something from them, just try one or two things like I did and go from there.

I bought 18.00 in seeds for 3 small plastic packs and not one of those freaking seeds grew. I got scammed big time. They send the seeds in small heat sealed bags without ID. They are stealing people's money.

DO NOT BUY THESE NON GERMINATING SEEDS FROM JACK SEEDS.

I purchased two packages of the blue strawberries and NOT a single ONE germinated....I then contact the company and they sent me an email explaining that I somehow used the wrong soil...I overwatered them....gave them too much fertilizer.....oh and then they couldn't find my original order....even though I sent them a picture of the package that the seeds came in....their own package...DO NOT BUY SEEDS FROM THIS COMPANY....LOOK AT ALL THE BAD REVIEWS.....SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT USE JACK SEEDS.....more like

Anyone who buys ANYTHING from Jack Seeds deserves to waste their money!!!

I was just about to order something over $150 worth of seeds from “Jack Seeds” when I came across some absolutely fantastic Rainbow Rose seeds. I used the word Fantastic on purpose.
Fantastic: imaginative or fanciful; remote from reality.
There are NO, NADA, 0 (ZERO) ZILCH rose plants that grow rainbow colored flowers.
The only way to get roses with rainbow colors on individual roses is a complicated process that starts with white flowers.
That said, I don’t trust ANYTHING that this CHARLATAN has for sale and you should question each and every claim they make!
