I bought this packed from my local nursery, I opened it to find only 8 seeds in the packet. They germinated beautifully, but I was really hoping for more seeds.

I was looking forward to growing Milkweed. That's not what I got when it grew. There must have been an error when the seeds were processed. I ended up with amaranth. I have never planted amaranth in my yard. It's so disappointing.
