Great germination and produced healthy beautiful accent plants that catch the light in the evening. Have added them to many of my containers.

These seeds performed well right from germination! Excellent germination rate and strong seedlins which grew into dense and full mature plants. Will definitely be buying again. I'm done with store bought dusty miller plants.

I started these in a greenhouse, transplanted, and they did ok. Was hoping they would get a bit more bushy as they seem a bit thin. Overall nice effect with white/ gray color which works well as a blending plant to go with about all other colors. Used in ground but may stick to using this in containers.
