    Great company. Every seed package I've purchased from them has done well, even one I had lost in the bottom of my garden tool kit, over 3 years old, produced a high percentage of viable seedlings.

    I have been very impressed with growing these. The colors are beautiful! Looking forward to processing the blooms for medicinal use. Planted by seed indoors in August then transplanted to raised beds.
