    Followed the instructions to keep in the refrigerator for 3 weeks and placed in a sunny spot afterward. Sprouted within a few days!

    I grew orange butterfly weed flower last year and they were a joy all season long. I’m looking forward to growing this yellow variety this year. I have had good success with Botanical Interest seeds.
