- christie p.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars6/19/26Zero (0) Seedings
Not one of my seeds germinated and I bought to packets of these. They were planted when they were supposed to be planted, watered regularly. One was planted in NJ the other in MA. So disappointed.

- TXMasterGardenerVerified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars4/14/26Zero germination
I followed the germination instructions exactly. Unfortunately, not a single seed germinated. I typically achieve between 75% and 98% germination. Not sure what happened.

- Emily H.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars4/8/26None have sprouted :(
I planted these on March 13 and none have sprouted so far. I'm still hoping but starting to feel like it's unlikely.
