A curated seed bundle for the gardener who has decided to do this properly. The Herbs Seed Bundle is 12 herbs that collectively cover most of what any recipe has ever asked for.

Herbs Seed Bundle - 12pc Assortment is a 12-variety culinary herb seed assortment covering everything the recipe assumes you have. Each packet is hermetically vacuum-sealed -- removing the oxygen that causes standard paper seed packets to lose germination viability within approximately one year. State law requires a 3-year viability label on sealed packaging. NASA research on hermetic seed storage indicates viability of up to 10 years under proper conditions. Every packet is non-GMO and germination-tested at independent third-party labs before it earns its Japanese woodblock print artwork.

How to Grow Herbs Seed Bundle - 12pc Assortment from Seed

Sowing and Germination

Each variety includes individual sowing instructions. Most herbs sow indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost.

Care and Harvest

Assortment of 12 culinary herb varieties. Basil, cilantro, chives, parsley, thyme, and more.

Why Vacuum-Sealed Seeds Last Longer

Standard paper seed packets are permeable to oxygen and moisture -- the two primary causes of seed degradation. Most paper-packaged seeds begin losing germination viability after approximately one year, contributing to significant garden-industry waste: packets purchased, not planted, expired, discarded. Shido Seeds are hermetically vacuum-sealed. The packet does not expire quietly in a drawer. It waits.

About the Packaging

Every Shido seed packet is illustrated in the style of Japanese 1910s woodblock printing -- designed and drawn in-house by Chive, the Toronto ceramics studio that has been exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show in London every year and does not, as a matter of principle, sell to big-box retailers. Customers collect the packets as a series. This was not the original plan.
