RAW This is seed in its natural form, with no enhancements. Examples include Tomato and Verbena.
DE-TAILED The “tail” on a seed can interfere with an automatic seed-sowing machine. By removing the tail, the seed has a smoother shape that is easier to handle. Marigolds are de-tailed.
PRIMED Primed seed has begun the germination process, but stopped before the root protrudes through the seed coat; the seed is then dried down. Primed seed has more uniform growth and will germinate under a range of conditions. Examples include Pansy and Coreopsis.
COATED Coated seed is enhanced through a proprietary process that allows easier handling by the grower and in seeders. The coating is sometimes referred to as a “film coat” or a “slick coat.” Examples include Beacon Impatiens and Marigolds.
AMPLIFIED Amplified seed is enhanced through a proprietary process, resulting in faster and more uniform germination compared to non-enhanced seed. An example is Echinacea.
TREATED Thiram is applied to seed for disease control and protection against multiple seedborne and soilborne fungi. The seed is sealed, has no shape or size change, and no dust rubs off. An example is Sunflower.
PELLETED Pelleted seed is enhanced through a proprietary process that applies multiple layers of a yellow pelleting material to increase the seed size. This process also makes the seed more spherical and easier to see and handle. Examples include Petunia and Begonia.
MULTI-SEED PELLET AND MULTI-SPECIES MULTI-PELLET Multi-Seed Pellet The seed undergoes a similar process to pelleted but combines multiple seeds in one pellet. An example is Alyssum. Multi-Species Multi-Pellet Seeds from multiple species are combined, providing a pre-formed mixed container in one pellet. An example is SimplySalad®.
PRECISION ™ MULTI-SEED PELLET
This form provides a precise number of seeds in a multi-seed pellet. Each seed is pelleted, and then combined with others into a larger pellet. When this multi-seed form is used for multi-species combinations, a precise number of seeds of each variety is assured. An example is SimplyHerbs ™ .
