Burpee seed starter trays combine a hard plastic tray body with soft, food-grade silicone pop-out cell bottoms, using plastic for structure and silicone for flexible, removable cells.
Soft, flexible food-grade silicone cell bottoms cradle seedlings and gently flex so each plant pops out with minimal root disturbance, reducing transplant shock and simplifying removal.
The trays include multiple drainage holes and molded corner slots per cell, plus deep channels in the watering tray and a raised perimeter edge to channel and contain excess water.
Most kits include a cell tray and a clear dome cover. Some listings note a window-sized option that pairs a flat tray with an 8-cell insert plus a dome cover.
Extra-large cells provide room for deeper-rooted vegetables and similar plants — common examples include tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants.
Side handles let you lift and tip the tray to pour off excess water, while deep tray channels and a raised perimeter edge channel and contain overflow to help prevent spills.
