Why Burpee
Three reasons gardeners choose Burpee.
Seed packets: variety and provenance
Burpee’s seed packets present a wide spectrum of choices—heirloom tomatoes, compact patio peppers and ornamental flowers—many bred or trialed by Burpee’s team. Each packet includes clear planting guidance, maturity dates and tips to help home gardeners select varieties for taste, spacing and season, making ambitious beds and vegetable rows achievable even for first‑time growers.
Live seedlings and starter kits
When you want an instant head start, Burpee’s live seedlings and starter kits bridge the gap between seed and transplant. Expect healthy tomato and pepper starts, ready‑to‑plant herbs, and complete trays with growing medium. Note seasonal shipping windows and regional restrictions for live plants; Burpee times dispatch to protect plant health during transit.
