Jene,

The point of the pellet is to help keep the cost down on seeds. The seeds that are in pellets are usually like dust, very tiny, hard to handle.

Pelleted seeds are usually hybrid seed that has to be hand pollinated, that is expensive for seed producers.

Another advantage is that when you fill your tray with starter soil, then water the soil before planting, the seed you drop on the surface will be at the perfect planting depth. Just water and wait.

Some companies offer multi-pelleted seeds, like Lobelia seeds (again a dust sized seed) that come in certain color schemes, like shades of blue. You get a more consistent color combo in your starter plants.
