Know What You’re Planting.
Online, it’s common to hear: Just get the cheapest seed.
Price matters, but it’s not the whole story.
An analogy we often use is that seed is like the ingredients in a cake.
You can buy a cake made with the cheapest ingredients available and it might be fine.
Or you can bake one with high-quality ingredients and it can be exceptional and repeatable.
The same is true with seed.
Here’s what separates quality from compromise.
Clean seed vs weed seed.
Is the issue the species, or the seed quality, cleaning, and certification process behind it?
Poorly cleaned or uncertified seed, regardless of species, is one of the most common pathways for weed introduction.
Each year, we hear I can get bean seed or oat seed for cheap.
In many cases, that seed is bin-run and not properly cleaned or certified.
At Vitalize Seed, we prioritize clean, certified seed to protect long-term soil health and performance.
Transparency matters.
Many labels rely on vague terms like VNS or broad branding such as XYZ brassica. Without clarity, you may not know if you are getting distinct species, repeated genetics, or plants that actually serve different functions in the mix.
Mix design matters.
Well-designed mixes are built around rooting depth, growth rate, and functional roles. Some mixes change year to year based on which filler seed is cheapest. This leads to inconsistent performance and expectations.
Establishment matters.
A strong germination number is important, but real performance depends on seed vigor and survivability under real planting conditions. Experience with species selection and mix design matters beyond a lab test.
Quality ingredients matter. So does transparency. And so does the level of service behind the seed.
At Vitalize Seed, seed quality is non-negotiable. Every order is backed by unmatched customer service, and we appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.
