| *'Multi-seed pellet' and 'pelleted seed' have many tiny seeds per pellet, making sowing these seeds very easy, | |||||||||
.
| without over-sowing. | |||||||||
.
| *Marigold seeds that are 'de-tailed' have had the extra tail removed, reducing the overall size of the seeds, making | |||||||||
.
| them much easier to plant. | |||||||||
.
| *'Primed seed' has already been stratified (pre-chilled), increasing germination rates. | |||||||||
