I'm curious if anyone here has experience ordering from Richter's. They have an extensive selection of seeds, especially for herbs, which I haven't seen matched by many other companies. However, I came across mixed reviews online—some sites show an equal number of good and bad reviews, while others lean mostly towards positive but highlight some really negative experiences as well. I'm hoping some of you can share your success stories or warn me if I should steer clear.

I would definitely check out Johnny's Selected Seeds as an alternative. They're known for being reputable and offer a nice variety too! Might save you the hassle if you're uncertain about Richter's.
I've used Richter's in the past, specifically the one located in Ontario. I had a pretty good experience overall. I bought both seeds and plants, and they all grew quite well! Just a heads up though—some herbs can be tricky to start from seed, so make sure you know what you're getting into. It's been a couple of years since I ordered, so I can't guarantee if their service is still just as good now.
I tried Richter's last year, and my results were mixed. About 98% of the seeds sprouted, which was great, but the plants were a bit leggy and didn't grow as large as I'd hoped. You might also want to explore a site called Dam Seeds—they have a solid selection that might fit your needs better!
