Contact seed@pinelandsnursery.com with your requests and to obtain pricing. There is a 5 pound minimum for custom seed mix orders.
How do you sell your seed?
We sell our seed as Pure Live Seed (PLS). PLS is a calculation that describes the percentage of seed that will germinate in a given seed lot. PLS is calculated through multiplying the percent purity by the percent germination plus the percent dormat or hard seed. This calculation certifies that our customers will always receive viable seed. When you order a PLS pound, we multiply one pound by the PLS percentage to ensure that you are getting the exact amount of viable seed you are paying for.
Bulk weight means that when you order a pound of seed - that is what you get. Seed, empty hulls, stems, leaves and weed seed maku up the weight of that pound. Only a percentage of that pound will be live germinating seeds, which is why we prefer to sell our seed in PLS pounds.
