Palm Beach Medicinal Herbs - Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) - Packet of 30 Seeds

I see a lot of customers stating that the seeds did not germinate. These are cold climate berries and need to go through a cold cycle first. Some varieties need to be frozen or near that for up to 90 days otherwise the seed will not come out of dormancy. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE VARIETES! It would be nice if the product page had this information like some other seed sellers, but you have to do your homework. Some berry seeds need to be soaked in hot water, some need to be frozen to mimic winter, some just need to be put in the fridge.

I was excited to grow billberry, but not one of the seeds germinated and it's been over three weeks. I started them indoors using potting soil and a 24-cell egg carton (one seed per cell) and carefully watered (not too wet or too dry). I only expected 50-70% germination, but 0% tells me that there is a problem with the seed.

I do not know how many germinated, but there are quite a few. I put the small seeds on a wet paper towel then placed them in a sandwich baggie. Many germinated after 3 days. I planted them outside on the paper towel and covered with a bit of dirt.

Love such a good filler for the garden but also so easy to use great for arthritis and can use the leaves as well! A little tough with needing a more finicky soil but we have raspberry’s and they grew perfectly!

I got this for my sister. She has a green thumb plus she is trying to grow her own health garden,

I’m in Kansas and they never worked. There were plenty of seeds that looked healthy, I just could get a blossom. Not worth my money.

Really wanted this. Bilberry bushes are too expensive, and I'm good at getting seeds to germinate. Unfortunately these never did. They came very quickly in the mail in a pretty seed envelope. Followed their directions. But seeds just sat there. Disappointed.

Do not buy. They do not germinate. they deserve minus one star. could not return due to past return date. Attempted to have Amazon make good on it but could not negotiate the confusing and unrelated prompts. I am out 8.95 plus tax.
