Well I can't tell you much about the mature Chipilin plant yet, but as for these seeds the germination has been better than expected. The listing says you must be patient, that they germinate very slowly and may take weeks or even months - a web search confirmed that. Well I started 6 seeds total, divided between 2 pods in my countertop garden/hydroponic grower, and was surprised to check on them 5 days later and find that all 3 seeds in one of the pods have sprouted already. The other pod has no sprouts yet. The seeds come packaged simply in a small clear plastic resealable baggie, with no information other than the seed label. Luckily this is not my first rodeo and also the web search was helpful, here are some tips I learned: it is recommended to presoak the seeds for 24 hours (which I did) and they need pretty warm soil temperatures of 68F to 86F to germinate. Apparently germination can be erratic (with some seeds possibly sprouting even months later). I will try to grow out the ones that have already sprouted and see how they do. This is considered a perennial plant in mild climates like mine (9b), but there are enough seeds to grow out again as needed if I like the plant. I do think the price is quite high at $26 for approximately 50 seeds, and it appears this type of seed is available for purchase online for a wide range of prices with this being near the top end. That being said, if those other seeds offered elsewhere for a lower price have poor germination rates in comparison, especially considering the reputation of this type of seed for being finicky in general, then these may actually be a bargain in terms of quality if you have your heart set on growing chipilin. It's not exactly an herb you find commonly in your local produce section, so I'm excited to grow it out and try it. So far all I can say for sure is that the seed quality seems good.
