Customer Reviews
I sprinkled a row in the slightly less sunny back of my raised plot and was concerned the greens wouldn’t do well without full sun, but 5 weeks later I have a beautiful bunch of mustard plants. Just harvested the nascent flowers yesterday to try to encourage more leaf growth. Notably mustardy, not too hot, and very visually appealing. Will absolutely plant again.
Nothing came up. I planted it a couple of times in the spring. I'll try again in the fall. Not sure why it totally failed.
So sorry to hear that! We do germ test all of our seeds and to ensure we sell only top performing crops, we have established germination standards that are higher than prescribed by the Federal Seed Act. Our minimum germination standard for mustard is 80% and the most recent test for this variety passed at 99%. As always, our products are backed by our full guarantee. We want you, our customers, to be 100% satisfied with the seed, plants and supplies that you purchase from us. If anything you buy from Territorial proves to be unsatisfactory, we will either replace the item (if available) or refund the purchase price, whichever you prefer (for up to 1 year from purchase). You can also reach out to us for any troubleshooting! Contact our customer service (Monday-Friday 8AM-5PM Pacific Time) at either 800-626-0866 or info@territorialseed.com
