Seeds are a common e-commerce scam, coz by the time you knew what it turned out to be, it's too late to do anything.

- belval 6y agoIndeed, the seed page on Aliexpress is one the most peculiar thing I've seen in a while, blue strawberries, giant tomatoes (advertised to be as big as a watermelon) and all sorts of other weird fruits. I spent 5$ on these a while back with some friends, about 50% never arrived and the other 50% didn't sprout. Could be my bad though.
- gbrown 6y agoIf you actually want weird seeds, try Baker Creek.
- chromatin 6y agoI can vouch for Baker Creek. We have grown some incredible heirloom plants.
- asah 6y agoDitto. Purple beans ftw!
- BenjiWiebe 6y agoYes, Baker creek is awesome! Also their seed catalog is the prettiest/most enjoyable one I've ever seen.
- BTCOG 6y agoJust reminded me of someone I knew back in 2015 that ordered some of these strange off color blue strawberries and fruits, most of his Chinese seeds did not germinate, but the few that did were a strange little regular plant that were not thoroughly bred well. I would never try to order seeds outside of your local famous standard seed houses.
