Comments regarding Horticultural Products and Services (HPS)

Another company with rotten customer service. First they say they have no more free catalogs, but afterwards they can send one if I pay them for it. Some free catalog.

I always ordered seeds from Jung Seed and never had problems. This spring I decided to order some flower seed from this company and now I regret. The seed packages didn't contain any information at all about the plant and its growing. The seed of two different kinds of impatiens, petunia and zinnia didn't germinate, I had to sow twice and now I have just a few petunias and zinnias, the impatiens were a complete failure. I ordered flower seed in three different companies this spring and the seed from HPS is the worst. I am very disappointed.

Placed an order for some flower and other seeds and none of the impatiens seeds I ordered sprouted. I tried all the different methods to germinate the seeds for double blossom and New Guinea imatiens, and neither type would germinate even after 50 days. I tried calling HPS, but get a continual busy signal. I also tried Schumway (shown on the HPS catalog and seed packets) and also Jung and also get a busy. Also went to HPS web site to leave an email, but even that link will not work. Its appaent that they are not supporting the buying public. I recommend staying away from them! My bad seeds cost me over $45.
