We love them too! Butterflies seem to flock to them and they are great as cut flowers. We can't wait for spring!
Still trying!

Owner Response: Hi Triniti,
Try sowing then in cells or small pots with moistened seed starting mix and refrigerating them for 2-3 weeks before sprouting them--this may help.
Tall, graceful and lovely filler

Owner Response: Hi Kathleen,
Similar to the hollyhocks you reviewed these seeds also need light to germinate so they should not be buried. Rest assured we do test our seeds regularly using a third-party laboratory to ensure seeds meet federal and our own standards. A customer service agent will be contacting you by email to help.

Owner Response: Hi Kelly,
We are sorry you are having trouble germinating this seed. A customer service agent will contact you by email to help. Your zone/average lowest winter temperatures wouldn't change anything about the germination methods, but it does mean this plant is not perennial in your area. The stratification period (seeds sown in moistened media and refrigerated) is 2 weeks and then the seeds should be kept dark (cover sown trays with something opaque) when removed from the refrigerator for germination. The ideal soil temperature range is 65-75 degrees F, which in most homes would not require a heat mat and no lights should be used until seeds germinate--this is true of all seeds, but verbena germination is aided by darkness so it is especially important. We are always happy to help troubleshoot germination issues--shoot us an email. We hope these tips are helpful. Happy gardening!
Really Takes Off

Owner Response: Hi Sasha,
Thanks for sharing your experience. Plants in small pots will usually stay small because their root space is limited. We are glad you transplanted these are were able to experience their full potential. Happy gardening!
Slow to germinate but WOW by year two!

Owner Response: Hi Cynthia, Thank you for sharing your experience with these seeds and our product. On the back of our seed packet, we note to "just barely cover the seeds with soil" as these seeds need light to germinate. We do test our seeds regularly using a third-party laboratory to ensure germination rates meet federal and our own standards. I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out to us for more information at horticulturist@botanicalinterests.com.
