This happy little flower just keeps on blooming with absolutely no watering. Not only that, but the old flower heads look interesting on the plant. Definitely one of my favorites!

I was really looking forward to the delicious scent of chocolate to float through my garden, but after planting the entire packet in several different locations, I had no germination. Perhaps the birds got to the seeds as they are on the surface, but I was disappointed. Maybe I'll try another packet in case it was user error.

These are super easy from seed, and smell amazing! Even after being cut they still smell. Bloom after bloom makes these a must have:)

I'm disappointed because I believe I might have received a bad batch because I didn't have any luck with these, no germination. I also dislike the price I paid for bad seeds.

Sadly, these did not grow for me. I planted them according to the instructions, during the appropriate season, but they did not emerge. Hopefully, you have better luck.

As a perennial a little slow to start however mine was flowering within 4 months from seed beautiful cheery flowers and nice scent!

After 2 years, 2 packets, and numerous attempts to germinate the seeds- sowing in my garden with net to keep out birds, in seed starter under grow lights, in soil on my roof when the weather got warmer- today I noticed one lonely chocolate flower on a stalk laying along the ground. This would have been from a seed I planted early last year. Still, I'm glad I got at least one little flower, because it's definitely cool looking. I just hope it gets more robust in the coming years.

looking at the reviews, it seems it either worked and they were wonderful, or they were a zero. I wish I had been in the first category. Not one of mine came up.

Fast shipping and excellent germination rates from botanical interests always! Lovely flowers the tend to open more in the evening and early morning smells faintly like chocolate!

I planted these in multiple dryish areas of the garden and we've had a wet year so they were certainly "watered" but sadly not one germinated. :-(

Did not flourish for me in 8b. What blooms I got were puny and did not smell of chocolate.

Although these r native and drought tolerant they may b a little tricky to germinate because they r NOT drought tolerant until about 2 months AFTER germination. I germinated mine in a wet paper towel and a baggie. Once I saw a white little tail, I used a tooth pick and placed them in a container, at the top of the pot, cover with a little potting soil, just so I could barely see the tail. Push it down to make soil contact but not injure the seedling and I watered. I put about 3 seedlings in each 3 inch pot. I put a little plastic wrap over the top to retain moisture as they r still not drought tolerant yet. I put it under my light but far away (a windowsill would work, but I wouldn't put it in direct sun (yet). I watered every other day by putting water in the bottom of the tray and letting the soil soak it up for 10 minutes and them I dumped out the rest of the water. I also removed the plastic wrap when I saw green above the soil. After 3 weeks, it was April, I hardened them off for about 1 week and then separated the seedlings and planted them in bigger pots. I watered right away when transplanting and then every other day for about 2 weeks. This is when they were drought tolerant, even in the pots! In September I transferred them in ground and they seemed fine. I really hope they return this spring. The fragrance is unbelievable. I cut a dozen or so and put them in my kitchen windowsill and every time I went to the sink I could smell them. I can't believe THIS flower is OUR native. Take that, Lily of the valley.
