Yes and no. 15-20 seems about average, but it depends on the type of plant and/or seed size. If the seeds are tiny (like poppy seeds), there's likely to be A LOT more in the package (more likely to be described/measured in terms of tsp or mg, too). Larger seeds, likes corn or daylily seeds, may only be around 5 seeds, or even less.

Keep what you think you will need. Overestimate your needs of your not sure. There's no sense giving away too much and then having to purchase more seeds later. Smiling
