Johnny's Selected SeedsReviews of johnnyseeds.com

Two decades of gardening and ordering seeds online from many different companies, Johnny Seeds is ALWAYS consistently the best quality seeds - best germination, most vigorous and productive plants and I've never once had a shipping or customer service issue. I'm surprised by all the one-star reviews here but I guess no company can be perfect and with a big company and lots of orders, its inevitable that there will be a few errors. It seems people mostly comment when they are upset about a problem. There must be hundreds of thousands of happy Johnny Seeds customers, they are the best!

I have always been happy with the seeds and equipment ordered from Johnny's but would recommend not ordering seed potatoes from Johnny's. This was my first time ordering seed potatoes and expected them to arrive earlier and still haven't received them. In calling customer service I learned that they do not carry the potatoes themselves but need to get from a supplier and so aren't really able to ship when those of us in southern zones typically plant seed potatoes.

Tool bent after one hour of light use, Broad fork. No hard pan, working an area dug up last year harvesting potatoes. Disappointing.

I would give them 0 star if I could. I placed an order for seeds and tulip bulbs last August (2025). I never received the bulbs. In the meantime I moved from the US to Canada and cancelled my US credit card. I called the company and the told me they were going to mail me a check to my Canadian address. I then received a follow-up email explaining that after talking to the manager of the manager they could no longer mail me the check. They could ONLY send the refund to my original US credit card that was cancelled. They are crooks. Stay away from them! Giulia Del Guercio Green Order#8645802

I've had positive experience ordering from Johnny's over the past 5-6 years. The biggest issue i have with most online orders from any business is customer service support and receiving what I order. I find the website is user friendly. I am sorta shocked by the low ratings on review

I recently ordered from Johnny’s Seeds for the first time, and it will be my last. I called prior to placing my order to ask if overnight shipping was offered because we had landscapers showing the next day to seed and being late in the season it was important that I get the order the next day. I was told it could be shipped overnight so I placed the order. The guys were waiting for the order to arrive and when I checked the status it showed that it wasn’t scheduled to arrive for 3 days. When I called and spoke with a customer service manager, she spoke to me like I was somehow trying to pull one over on her, even asking what phone I placed the call from so she could listen to the recording. In the end she told me she’d refund me for the shipping but would not pay to have the seeds returned. I just checked the refund and it’s not even half the hefty charge that I paid. I paid quite a bit of money for seeds I can’t use and the overnight shipping charge - different seeds were planted that I paid extra for at the last minute - and she told me that next time it’s up to me to know to that overnight shipping on a Friday doesn’t really mean overnight. So if you order from them beware that if there’s a problem you as the customer will not be treated fairly let alone as a valued one.

If you value your privacy and hate junk mail, do not order from this company. They immediately sell your information to mass mailing companies, but they placed the blame on me for not opting out of something that I should be able to opt into instead of out of. Junk mail started arriving the exact same day that my seeds arrived--at an address that I RARELY use because it isn't mine. At least the seed order was correct, but they will NEVER see another penny from me.

I've been growing corn for years with great success. This year, I bought Johnny's seeds, and out of a 4ft x 8ft bed, I only got 4 ears that were big enough to harvest. Since I did everything the same as before, the only thing I can figure out is that they shipped inferior or old seeds. I definitely WILL NOT be ordering from them again.
