    Only sporadic germination. Did not flourish even with feeding and watering.

    Ordered 2 pkts of Butterscotch Nasturtiums weeks apart. Ordered the second pkt after sowing the first and not a single seed (of 30) germinated. Second pkt-only 3 seeds (of 30) germinated but only one plant survived.

    These seeds did not come up at all for a late summer garden, but I think I am to blame for planting them in a fairly heavy clay soil. All other seeds planted in this bed came up (incidentally, from other companies) but nasturtiums may be more delicate than I was aware. In any case, I appreciated the comprehensive info on and inside the packet, and I loved finding so many seeds on sale. I trust such a well established seed company offers good quality seeds and I look forward to trying other seeds purchased from BI in future plantings.

    All the seeds I bought from Botanical Interest germinated and I had lots of flowers and vegetables. I just placed an order for seeds for this winter and next spring.
