rarepalmseeds.com Reviews 

Ich habe in den letzten Jahren mehrmals verschiedene Agaven-Samen bestellt. Die Keimquote war immer und bei allen Chargen nahezu bei 100%, und das innerhalb weniger Tage. Teils wurden 10% mehr Samen geliefert als bestellt! Jederzeit wieder und das breite Sortiment ist topp.

I've been buying from this website since 2023 and so far I've had mostly positive results. Very few species of plants ordered from rarepalmseed didn't grow. I've tried multiple options for growing and almost never received a negative result. My special gratitude for codariocalyx motorium, which I was eager to grow for years and finally got seeds and a positive result - 6 out of 10 seeds grown.

Por segundo año consecutivo,semillas de gardenia con 0% de germinacion- gardenia sootepensis-

I have bought a large number of pine seeds (2000+) at rarepalmseeds over a period of 4 years. I have never recieved wrong seeds from here, as I have experienced in other shops.

I sometimes have very high germination percentages (90%) but normally around 60-70%.

I also had a few 0% experiences, but after trying the same seed again the following year, I always find that I had done something wrong the first time.

I could wish that some pine seeds were moreboften available.

They offer an incredible selection of rare plants, many of them you won't find anywhere else . Ordered many times and always gave an excellent service. And yes indeed some seeds don't germinate or seedlings seem impossible to rear , but note ,often you're dealing with plants that have hardly if ever been grown in cultivation. So generally it's lack of knowledge that leads to failure not the quality of the seeds

Kein einziger Samen Astrophytum aufgegangen. Bei der Konkurrenz welche bestellt unter gleichen Bedingungen gezogen 80 % aufgegangen. Geld rausgeschmissen, nie wieder. Kontakt aufgenommen mit Rarepalmseeds keine Rückantwort bekommen. So sieht schlechter Service aus!

Manche Sorten definiv nicht keimfähig. Trotz sehr teurer Preise eine sehr schlechte Qualität.

Ich habe 1.000 Haselnüsse bestellt. Nach der Stratifikation (10 Wochen im Kühlschrank) musste ich feststellen, dass die Nüsse nicht keimfähig sind.

Nach weiteren drei Wochen im Glashaus entschied ich mich, einige der äußerlich „gut“ aussehenden Nüsse zu öffnen. Dabei zeigte sich, dass diese innen verschimmelt waren, obwohl sie äußerlich unversehrt wirkten.

Zum Vergleich habe ich zeitgleich selbst gesammelte Haselnüsse stratifiziert. Diese begannen bereits nach etwa 7 Wochen im Kühlschrank zu keimen (Keimrate ca. 85 %).

Daher gehe ich davon aus, dass die gelieferten Samen von Anfang an nicht keimfähig waren.

I am now a long standing customer of RPS and must have spent a few thousand Euro on seeds over the past 3+ years. The range of seeds available is breath taking. I don't expect miracles but frequently I get very high germination rates, occasionally relatively low but only in a few instances I have achieved no germination. The important points to remember is this is not like growing tomato plants. Success does rely upon an element of skill with thought given to how the seeds should be treated, sowing media and best conditions to stimulate germination. But of course the lazy way to excuse failure to is to blame the seed merchant. I have RPS to thank for an ever expanding collection of rare and exotic plants.

Samenangebot an Palmen und Palmfarnen äußerst umfangreich
Lieferung vollständig und zeitnah (letzteres war früher nicht immer der Fall)
Keimraten z.T. sehr gut, teilweise aber auch sehr gering, wobei die Ursachen dafür vielfältig sein können
etwas unverständlich, dass bei hohem Bestellwert die Versandkosten steigen

The seeds no good ,are old and rotten, it happened to me several times but this time I wrote here...

Scammers. I ordered several “rare” seeds (or at least I hope they were), but none of them germinated — not a single one out of 20, even after trying different methods. The seeds arrived in very poor condition. Despite taking precautions and keeping them isolated during the germination process, they all ended up developing mold. Some I soaked in water beforehand had the same issue. When I opened a few, they were clearly dead inside.

Definitely to be avoided, especially for so-called rare seeds sold at high prices. They’re most likely old or improperly stored.

I was a happy customer BUT ...Well again then as my first comment didn't post. So ordered for 300+ euro in seeds (trachycarpus Princeps) (100 seeds) and seeing now they cost 100 euro less makes me angry. BUT not only that as i sow seeds more then 10 years now, none of these germinated at all in april 2026. Bought these in 2024 NONE !!!. I am really angry because i lost 300 EURO's for nothing

J’ai passé commande le 02/03/2025 nous sommes le 06/02/2026 je leurs ai envoyé un mail il y a 15/20 jours afin de leurs faire part dés germinations que j’ai eu mais surtout que je n’ai pas eu, ce mail est resté sans réponse ce qui démontre le grand sérieux de cette entreprise!
J’ai commandé 100 graines de brahea Clara ice blue 0 germination, 100 graines de brahea eduli 0 germination, 10 graines de butiagrus 0 germination, 100 graines de brahea SP 15 germinations, 100 graines de brahea dulci bleu 12 germinations et 100 graines de Jubaea 26 germinations. J’ai donc un gros doute sur la fraîcheur des graines vendu!

So many recognizable stories. I ordered seeds at 26-09-25. A lot of palmseeds easy to sprout, I thougt. The more difficult ones I did not want to order now. I just wanted to check first if it´s a good seed dealer, after some previous bad experiences with other dealers. I received them end of oktober. The first thing I noticed was that a lot of bags of palmseed were not full. I ordered 10 seeds of each palm specie and a lot of bags had only 6 seeds. I found that strange but I didn´t react immediately. At first, I wannted to check if the rest was good. I had almost 75 palmseeds and 90 plantseeds and if they sprouted I would ask him why he took palmseeds out of the bags. 17 easy plantseeds did sprout and till now none of palmseeds sprout. So I wrote a mail explaining that I followed all his instructions and tips from his customers but that I noiced that 3 species had floating seeds and a few sank and asked him if the seeds were fresh because I thought he put his last seeds in bags of 6 left overs. He wrote back that he understood my problem and wrote that I ordered seeds to Canary Islands while I live in Spain and because of tax, islands are not EU, he took out seeds to compesate the extra costs. I wrote back that,s a ly and told him if you select country there is only one option Canary islands/Spain and if he would read the sending adress it was Spain. Then he starts a bullshit story explaining all things I allready told him in the first mail and that,s is normal that seeds sometimes sink and that I did things wrong but that he will give me a few free seeds if I make new order. I´m not gonna waist another 150 Euro,s. If you wanna try russian roulette, be my guest.

They are very very good and trustable seed company..also the reply my email..
I order from them 4 times and shipping was always fast ..more then a lot of different compeny.
Thank you very much:)

I bought some Araucaria seeds none of them germinated, seeds were probably not fresh

Very good website, easy navigation, strong and longlasting webdesign (no need of fancy new shizzle), good quality of seeds overall, good communication, and they even give second chances on some seeds that hasn't germinated (on their discretion, which is 100% understandable) ; the amount of unsatisfied review here is not matching the global experince, from far !
