Questions on searching
What can I enter in the search text?
You can enter our item no. (eg AA001 or AA 001), the common name (eg Borage), or parts of the botanical name.
To the botanical name belong: the genus (eg Achillea), the species (eg vulgaris), the series (eg Millennium-Series), the variety (eg Magnus), the synonyms (old genus or species names) and the marketing name (eg Splish-Splash).
If you enter part of a term, eg hybrid, you get a list of all items that include the word hybrid in the name. The fewer letters you enter, the bigger and more unmanageable is your result.
How can I get a more precise search result?
If you enter a family name ie. "Delphinium" a long list of different varieties will appear. If you are looking for a specific plant, simply enter further details of the botanical name, e.g. "cloud".
Remember to place a space inbetween the search criteria! Your result will now be Delphinium grandiflorum Summer Serie 'Summer Cloud'.
You can narrow down your search even further by using two words in inverted commas, e.g. "White Lady". In this case "White spotted Lady" will not appear.
How do I put together my list of special plants?
In the advanced search (left column), you have the opportunity to choose plants according to their properties. There are a total of 12 criteria for selection, which can be combined as desired, eg basic flower color blue, fast germinator, sunny location and low growth. Also, multiple selections are possible in one category, eg tea herb + culinary herb.
In the criteria Location, Usage, Characteristics, Growth Habit and Soil Requirement some articles are not complete yet. If you miss a plant in the search result, please let us know and find the right plant for the time being using the regular text search.
Can I save my search results?
Yes, both the results of text search as well as the advanced search can be saved. Use your browser bookmarks function. If you give the bookmark a name related to your search criteria, eg pink + partial shade or "Digitalis purpurea", you can refer back to the result at any time.
Why can I only print the first part of my search results?
The print function of your browser will print only what is visible on the screen. We have "Products per page: 30" by default - if your search finds more than thirty articles, there are more pages. You can tell that at the bottom of the screen on the grey bar that shows a series of numbers and "NEXT".
Please go to the top grey bar that contains the settings and change "Products per page" to 50 or 100. It will be printed all the articles that you can see on the screen, the printer will now print as many pages as are needed for these articles.
Questions on items
What do the signs ( ) mean?
These items are synonyms, ie old names, that by changes in botanical nomenclature are out of date.
What do the signs [ ] mean?
These specifications concern cultivar translations, the renaming of existing cultivars, and confusing marketing names given to the botanical species. While these specifications are not complete, they are compiled in good conscience to the best of our knowledge. For example:
ALYSSUM montanum 'Berggold' = translated = [Mountain Gold]AQUILEGIA vulgaris 'William Guiness' = re-named = [Magpie]
NEPETA nervosa = marketing name = [Blue Moon]
What are series?
Series are breeds which often show very similar growth properties but have one different feature, eg blossom colour.
What does GOLD NUGGET SEED® mean?
GOLD NUGGET SEED® makes it possible for cold germinators to germinate uniformly within 2 - 4 weeks without cold treatment.
What does JET® mean?
The designation JET® represents several advanced JELITTO TECHNOLOGY techniques.
What does Organic Seed mean?
Certification in compliance with EU Regulation No. 834/2007 and 889/2008.
This process guarantees transparency along the line from seed to consumer which is essential when dealing with organic products.
What does pure seed mean?
Pure seed means that the seeds have not only been separated from the chaff, but also from the outer shell.
What are mixtures?
We distinguish between two different mixtures. The main category of seed - mixtures has been compiled for a particular purpose, such as eg the blue colour garden or prairie mixes.
The information mixture with all other items means that different types with different height, color or other variations were compiled, often hybrids or all kinds of a series.
What does BLBP mean?
Abbreviation for the provenance of plants by the Bayerische Landesanstalt für Landwirtschaft (Bavarian regional authority for agriculture, previously Bayerischen Landesanstalt für Bodenkultur und Pflanzenbau).
These plants are selectively bred with distinctly better properties than normally available plant material. Plants with ’BLBP’ provenance have been tested over a period of years on their suitability for field production, particularly with regard to quality and yield and on their botanic identity as stipulated by the pharmacopoeia. These plants are therefore ideally suited for commercial field production. ’BLBP’ certified plants also fulfil all specifications for ingredients stipulated by the Chinese pharmacopoeia. Unauthorised seed propagation is strictly prohibited.

Which units can I order?
You can order for most items portions, grams or seeds. The conversion of seeds to gram is determined by the average weight of 1000 seeds and is rounded up the next deci-gram. The number of seeds delivered may differ from the number ordered. Gold Nugget Seeds are sold in unit seeds only. We weigh all amounts, also portions and seeds, we do not count seeds.
How big is one portion?
1 portion is our smallest sales unit and contains 20-250 seeds depending on value and seed size. The unit portion is weighed in and not counted. Therefore the number of seeds may vary and a ± difference of up to 5% is to be assumed for technical reasons.
NB: If you order 2 portions, you will receive two seed packets.
Are the seeds counted or weighed?
All seed counts are based on an approximate indication and may vary considerably between various seed lots or crop years.
The number of seed per gram is counted for each seed lot individually.
The
seed contained in a gram or portion or 1000 seed unit is measured
according to weight and is not counted each time for every order.
Therefore,
the number of seed in gram, portion or 1000 seed unit may vary and a ±
difference of up to 5% should be accepted with no compensation in any
way due the technical circumstances.

What is a phytosanitary certificate and how much does it cost?
A phytosanitary certificate is necessary when importing seed into several countries. The certificate is requested from us, with 25.40 EURO charged at cost price, and accompanies the shipment. The phytosanitary certificate fee cannot be included in the calculation of the minimum order value.
A phytosanitary certificate does not guarantee that you can import every item ordered without problems. Please contact your customs office since we are not able to consider the lists and amendments of all countries. Items confiscated by customs or Ministry of Agriculture and Fishery will not be replaced by us.
Do I need a phytosanitary certificate?
If you are from a country for which a phytosanitary certificate is required, it is automatically added in the shopping cart after you have logged in.
Beginning January 22, 2002, all USA orders required a Phytosanitary Certificate. To avoid these extra costs to our customers, we will send small shipments into the U.S. every week through our office in Kentucky and apply for a phytosanitary certificate at our own expense. Only large orders are sent directly by courier and will need a certificate.
What import regulations exist for USDA items?
Several articles can only be imported into the USA with an import permit via the USDA (US Department of Agriculture). Direct shipment with phytosanitary certificate and own import permit is possible. Our US agent, Mary Vaananen will be happy to assist you with the application and implementation.Small orders are also possible with a detour through our US office. In this case Jelitto will provide the phytosanitary certificate and the required import permit. Please carry out your order as usual, the store will show you the necessary steps and if applicable, additional costs.
Here you can find a listing of all affected items and an Excel list to download.

Hibiscus and Vicia seed varieties are required by the USDA to be treated for any pests or diseases that could possibly affect domestic production of crops such as cotton, citrus, and soybeans, etc. These varieties will be shipped separately to a USDA-APHIS facility and fumigated. This precautionary process does not affect seed quality. The treated seed will be shipped on to the customer with only moderate delays. Extra fees are charged for this process, including a phytosantitary certificate fee of 25.40 euro and a USDA fumigation fee of 125.00 euro plus 15.00 euro extra shipping fee.

Questions on delivery
Where the seed is sent?
The seed is sent from the headquarters in Germany. Here all the seeds are cleaned, tested and stored under appropriate conditions.
Small shipments to the U.S., we send weekly with a small detour through our office in Kentucky in order to spare our customers the cost of the phytosanitary certificate.
Why did I receive an invoice, but did not receive any goods?
There are several possible causes:
1. For advance payment, we ship the goods only after receipt of the invoice amount. Please transfer the invoice amount to the account specified on the invoice and provide customer and invoice number. You can expedite the shipment of your order if you send us a bank confirmation by e-mail or fax.
2. You live in Germany or the EU and your order has a value of 500 EURO. In this case, we do not send the bill along with the goods, but on the same day by mail. Packages often have a longer running time, and if you know that merchandise is on its way, you can keep an eye out.
3. You live outside the EU and your goods will be cleared. In this case, we do not send the bill along with the goods, but on the same day by mail. If you know that merchandise is on its way, you can keep an eye out. If the shipment has not arrived after a certain time, please ask your customs office.
What shall I do if my order does not arrive?
For your information, we send an invoice on the day of dispatch (the delivery note for payment in advance) by e-mail. If the shipment does not arrive, please check first on the bill. What shipping method is listed in the black box?
If the goods have been sent by courier or by post as express or registered mail, you have received from us or the courier service a number for the shipment and you can track the shipment on the Internet: Tracking.
By mail, we ask you to be patient - depending on the country, service may take several weeks. If you believe the shipment is lost, please contact us so that we can investigate and if necessary can send new seeds.
What shall I do if an order item is missing?
Because each order is packed individually, there can be occasional mistakes. If a seed bag has not found its way into your shipment, or a bag is damaged, and the seeds were scattered, please contact us. We will then send a replacement.
What shall I do if only part of the order has arrived?
If only the first half of your order has been delivered, but all positions are correctly listed on the invoice, it may be that the shipment was divided into several packages. Please wait a few days - if no further shipment arrives, please contact us.
If the invoice shows only part of the order, it is possible that eg a page of the fax was not sent correctly, or your addittion has not arrived. Please contact us, to enable us to dispatch the missing part as soon as possible.
What right of cancellation / right of return do I have?
* Every consignment should
be inspected upon delivery. Complaints about any perceptible defects
relating to the goods or the packaging and any weight discrepancies
must be brought to the Seller's notice no later than the 5th working
day and any deficient germination vigour no later than 3 weeks after
receipt of the goods. Notice of any defects which are not detectable
until a later date must be given without delay. In the event of any
dispute the goods shall, upon prior notification to the Seller, be
re-examined by the Institute of Applied Botany, Hamburg/Germany
(Staatsinstitut für angewandte Botanik), whose analysis shall be
recognized as decisive by both parties. The expenses shall be borne by
the losing party.
* If the Buyer has justifiably complained about perceptible defects or deficient germination vigour, the Seller shall be obligated to take back the goods, but not to deliver replacement goods, nor to grant a price discount, nor to pay compensation for damages.
* In the case of all other defects the Seller shall be liable for damages proved in due time and not exceeding the invoiced amount for the goods in question; no further liability will be assumed. The Buyer shall waive all other statutory or private claims. The same shall apply in the event that goods other than those specified are delivered. The descriptions given in this catalogue are not to be regarded as warranted qualities.
The Seller does not accept any responsibility for the outdoor viability of the goods as this is dependent on outside influences beyond control.
Furthermore, the Seller is not liable on account of seed infestation and transmission of diseases or pests.
* Packets whose closure has been damaged or some of whose contents have already been used cannot be taken back. In the event that liability exceeding that outlined in section 3 of the General Terms of Delivery is obligatory by law, proof of the defects claimed - in particular non-trueness of species or variety - must be furnished by the Buyer with the contents of a previously unopened packet sealed by the Seller or breeder.

Questions on payment
What do I need a tax number for?
After listing your country, you may be asked (for countries within the European Union) if you have a VAT-registration number. This means that you live in a country where VAT must be paid.
If you give us your valid VAT-number, this amount will not be charged. Should the VAT-Reg.-No. provided be invalid, then VAT will be charged.
Why is it not possible to enter a tax number?
If you live in Germany, we don't need your sales tax number, you must always pay VAT.
If you live in an EU country, and your number is not accepted, you made either a typing mistake or you just have tried to provide a personal identification number. Only companies with a sales tax number within the EU can shop tax-free.
How do I enter my company sales tax number correctly?
There are fixed rules for the VAT number: enter your country code plus digits (and letters) according to the exact specification. Don't use spaces or hyphen.

Questions on order processing
Where will my order be processed?
All orders, regardless of whether you completed over the shop, or by telephone, fax or e-mail to the headquarters or one of our offices in Japan, USA or Great Britain, the orders will be processed in the main office in Schwarmstedt. Here, the seed is stored, and from here, the orders and invoices will be sent.
Do I get pre-packaged seeds?
Temperature and humidity control are vital for the well-being of our inventory. Our seeds are stored according to the species' needs. The company has a wide variety of climate-controlled facilities. An overwhelming percentage of our seeds are packed immediately prior to shipment, only a small number of species can be pre-packaged.
How will my order be put together?
Each order item is weighed manually by the staff in seed bags and sealed. For larger quantities, we use double-stitched fabric bags.
Putting together your goods from various stores adds time to our shipping process, but it ensures the best quality product is shipped to you.
What shall I do if I've forgotten one or more items and I want to add something?
Please contact us. If your order is not shipped yet, and yet no phytosanitary certificate is requested, we can add items.

Why do I need a customer number?
You can login with your e-mail address or customer number and a password.
If you don't order via our shop, as a long-time customer you don't need to add your full address to the order. Your name and account number on the fax or e-mail is sufficient for us to locate your account information.
Please add your customer number to checks or wire transfers.
How do I change my password and what should I consider?
After you have logged in, you go in the shop on "My Jelitto" and select "My Account". Here you can change your password under "Change Account Password".
Your password should have more than 6 characters, otherwise it is too easy to decode. Please do not choose any words which are easy to find out (eg dog's name). A combination by choice of numerals and big and small letters offers the best security.

1. Click on "Login" and "Forgotten Password". When you enter your e-mail address and click on "Request Password", we will send you an e-mail, which allows you to change your password.
