View full detailsSeeds for Planting: Vegetables, Herbs, and Flowers
Our full seed collection covers seeds for planting across nearly every crop a home gardener, homesteader, or small market farmer might want to grow. With over a thousand varieties in stock, you can shop by crop, brand, price, or growing traits like organic status, days to maturity, and heat or cold tolerance, so it's easy to find exactly what fits your garden.
What's In Our Seed Collection
You'll find garden seeds across vegetables, herbs, and flowers from trusted organic growers like High Mowing, Peaceful Valley, and Southern Exposure, plus budget-friendly options from MIgardener. Popular picks include heirloom and hybrid tomatoes, peppers, beans, lettuce, and carrots, along with kitchen herbs like basil, cilantro, and dill, and flowers such as zinnias, calendula, and sunflowers. Beyond individual seed packets, you can also shop microgreens, sprouting seeds, cover crop seed, and seed bundles if you're looking to grow beyond the basics.
From Seed Packets to a Full Garden Plan
Buying seeds is only the first step. Knowing when to start, transplant, and harvest each variety is what actually determines your results. Add any variety from this collection to your Seedtime calendar, and the garden planning software will calculate seeding, transplanting, and harvest windows based on your specific location and frost dates. You can start planning for free, and if you want unlimited calendars and planning tools as your garden grows, compare Seedtime's plans to find the right fit. Seedtime members also get up to 20% off every order, so buying seeds for sale here goes further season after season.
Frequently Asked Questions
With this many options, how do I actually pick the right seeds for my garden?
+
Use the filters for organic status, heirloom or open-pollinated type, days to maturity, and container-friendliness to narrow things down by what matters most to you. From there, the more important factor is timing. A variety that thrives in one climate can struggle in another if it's started or transplanted at the wrong time, so pairing your picks with a garden calendar based on your actual location and frost dates will do more for your results than the seed choice alone.
What's the difference between heirloom, hybrid, and open-pollinated seeds?
+
Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated types passed down over generations that stay true to type when you save seed from them. Hybrids are bred by crossing two parent varieties for specific traits like disease resistance or yield, but won't grow true if you save and replant their seed. Open-pollinated varieties, heirloom or not, will produce plants similar to the parent when seed is saved. Which one is right for you depends on whether you want to save seed year to year and what traits matter most for your growing conditions.
Do all these seeds need to be started indoors, or can most be sown directly in the garden?
+
It varies by crop. Fast-germinating, cold-hardy plants like lettuce, peas, and beans are usually direct sown, while longer-season crops like tomatoes and peppers typically need a head start indoors before your last frost date. Each listing includes days-to-germination and days-to-maturity details to help you judge which approach fits, and a garden calendar built around your frost dates will give you an exact starting window instead of a guess.
Are these seeds fresh, and will they actually germinate well?
+
Yes, seed is sourced from reputable growers and stored properly before it ships, which supports strong germination. That said, even good seed can underperform if it's planted too early, too deep, or in soil that's too cold, so germination issues usually come down to timing and conditions rather than seed quality. Following the recommended depth and timing for each variety gives you the best shot at a strong stand.
Is it worth buying seeds here instead of a regular garden center?
+
Pricing is competitive with other organic seed retailers, and Seedtime members get an additional 20% off every order, which adds up if you're buying seed for several crops each season. The bigger difference is that your seed purchases connect directly to a planning system, so you're less likely to end up with packets that go unused because you lost track of when to start them.
