Germination Standards Territorial has established germination standards that are higher than those prescribed by the Federal Seed Act. Our resident seed analyst continually tests every lot of seed we sell. Our catalog descriptions include days to maturity figures. Unless noted the days to maturity are calculated from date of direct sowing. These figures come from our experiences at our research farm.
Every year there are differences in growing time due to climatic variations.
The relatively cool summers in the Northwest make our days to maturity longer than in warmer areas of the country. The information that we provide should be used as a comparison of varieties within our catalog only. Your actual days to maturity may vary.
