First type buyer with Herbies as regular supplier was unable to deliver to Australia for a short period of time, anyway cutting a long story short , 5 paid for feminised seeds did not germenate. I am an experience home grower and used the paper towel method during the first week of Spring in Australia for well over 35 years . All paid for seeds (not freebies) in the past have 100% germinated without issue. After a few emails Herbies (photos, a few questions from a representative answered) they did agree to resend 5 seeds (they gave me a choice of several viarieties). So far all good, except they wanted (in my view unreasonable) 50 .75 Euros ($85 Australian) for shipping and Insurance. Quite frankly just not worth it.
