Shipping issues and wrong addresses

In the event that the post office or other shipping companies lose your package in transit, please contact me and I'll do everything in my power to assist you. However, there has been a growing issue across all online businesses with customers providing incorrect addresses. This error is usually due to using auto-fill features in browsers and defaulting to old addresses. If you notice the mistake, please contact us as soon as possible and hopefully it can be caught before the order is shipped. Once it is shipped, it is out of our hands and we can not be held responsible for the mistake. There is a $3.50 charge to have it reshipped.

Custom and personalized orders

In general, I pride myself on getting orders out the day of the order. Large orders and orders during peak times may take 2-3 days to fill and process the order.

Do seeds come with growing instructions?

Yes, every order we fill has growing instructions on the label. These instructions are brief since room is limited on the labels. If you need more detailed instructions, please see the listing and there's a wealth of information on the internet. Also, don't hesitate to contact me. I'm always here to help.

50 Black Cumin seeds

Black cumin, (Nigella sativa), also called black seed, black caraway, Roman coriander, kalonji, or fennel flower, annual plant of the ranunculus family (Ranunculaceae), grown for its pungent seeds, which are used as a spice and in herbal medicine. The black cumin plant is found in southwestern Asia and parts of the Mediterranean and Africa, where it has a long history of use in diverse culinary and medicinal traditions. The seeds have an aroma similar to fennel and have a pungent flavour somewhat similar to nutmeg, though the plant is not related to either. The seeds are commonly roasted and ground as a spice and are widely used in India, the Middle East, and parts of north Africa to season curries, rice, breads, and sweet confections. Black cumin is also important in traditional medicine in many places and is an esteemed herbal remedy for a wide variety of ailments. The plant is sometimes grown as an ornamental for its attractive flowers and is closely related to love-in-a-mist (Nigella damascena), a more common ornamental.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS (USDA Zones: 5-10)
Start the Cumin seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last expected frost for transplanting outdoors. Or, after the last frost, directly plant the Black Cumin herb seeds outdoors. Sow in full sun to partial shade, 3-4 seeds per plant, 1/8" deep, 5-9" apart and keep moist until germination. Some gardeners sow the Nigella Sativa seeds in several successive weeks in order to keep a longer season. Black Cumin plants need a sunny location in the herb garden and well-drained soil. Water the herb plants regularly during prolonged periods of dry weather. After the seed heads begin to dry, cut the stems, tie them together and place the seed heads in a brown paper bag. Hang the stems upside down in a warm well-ventilated place until the herb seeds are done drying. Place the seeds in an airtight container.
