Questions
Using the seed list
- How many seeds are on SeedBattle?
- 223 so far, in 4 categories: vegetables, herbs, flowers and fruits & other. A new seed appears here as soon as its page is published.
- How do the filters work?
- Choose a category, a difficulty, an amount of sun or "Grows in pots". Each group takes one choice at a time, and choosing it again switches it off. Choices from different groups add up, so Easy plus Grows in pots shows only the easy seeds that grow in containers.
- What order are the seeds in?
- A to Z by their common name. Each page shows up to 48 seeds, with a link to the next page when there are more.
- How is difficulty rated?
- Every seed is rated easy, moderate or challenging by our editors, going by how easily it grows from seed.
- What do the sun filters mean?
- Full sun means 6 or more hours of direct sun, partial shade a few hours, and full shade little or no direct sun. Many seeds grow in more than one, so they show up under each.
- What does "Grows in pots" mean?
- Trusted growing sources say the seed can be grown in a container. Where the smallest pot to use is known, you'll find it on the seed's page.
- Can I compare seeds?
- Yes. The compare page lines up the growing facts of up to three seeds side by side, from germination and spacing to sun, water and pet safety.
Not sure which one to grow?
Put up to three seeds side by side and compare germination, spacing, sun, water, frost tolerance and pet safety.
