My Agretti this year (2023) were sown into a bed of sandy seed compost which had been watered, and then covered with some more compost and lightly watered again. This method seems to suit them well and I have had about 95% success rate of germination. Now about 9 inches high and I'm looking forward to enjoying them with fish once more.

Lovely vegetable similar to samphire

having bought agretti seeds from another supplier with absolutely no germination success, i was very happy with my franchi seeds which had a very good rate of germination. well worth the money

Seeds from the box failed to germinate but there was about 20-30% germination of the seeds from the packet

I grew this for the first time last year (21) and enjoyed it steamed for about 5 minutes to accompany fish dishes. Holds a lovely crisp bite and is delicious, with a little lemon juice alongside fish. I already have mine ready to sow shortly and this year will sow the whole packet. It takes a little time to germinate and then the shoots come up with the seed on top before that drops off to allow the fronds to appear. Lasts well into autumn and doesn't demand much attention. Recommend highly!

A lovely large box of fresh agretti seeds. These take a while to germinate and the plant's germination efficiency is notoriously low, so the large pack is a boon and very good value. I'm really looking forward to planting them. We grew some last year and really enjoyed the plants for their slightly salty, fresh taste. They're great lightly sauteed in olive oil and served with pasta. Last year we didn't realise they were "cut and come again" - won't make that mistake again!
