- Rebecca B.SC, United StatesVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars7/1/25Small but mighty!
By far, these seeds and my other seed purchase (sweetie maters) have been the most successful items in my first-year garden. The flowers are much smaller than what I'm seeing as the norm, but they are still absolutely delicious. I'm getting at least one cup's worth of tea a day from one square foot. :)

Packaging is beautiful! I haven’t planted yet. But I’m sure I will love them. Like I do all their seeds.
