    Great company. Every seed package I've purchased from them has done well, even one I had lost in the bottom of my garden tool kit, over 3 years old, produced a high percentage of viable seedlings.

    Germination in no time! Waiting for a little more growth so we can get some flowers!

    I have been very impressed with growing these. The colors are beautiful! Looking forward to processing the blooms for medicinal use. Planted by seed indoors in August then transplanted to raised beds.

    Great germinating rate, and did great transplanting.

    Love the two tones.

    Started indoors under LED grow lights.

    I dry the flowers and use in herbalist stuff.

    Not the biggest flower heads but was prolific.

    I thought I had a photo but it may be on another phone.

    Bee's love this flower.

    I also recommend borage for Bee's
