Great seed.
- DVerified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars9/23/2514% Germination
I tried twice to germinate. First try was 4 seeds, second time was 10 seeds. Per instructed, barely notched each seed and surface sowed. Only 2 of the 14 seeds germinated. Both seedlings died. Am keeping remaining seeds moist in hopes of sprouting. Date stamp was 12/2026. Disappointed.

These are amazing! Photo is our first blooms ever—the color was a surprise! They are in their second year. They were transplanted to the ground last summer and overwintered here in Colorado. We are so happy with these. My boyfriend posted a picture to a gardening group on Facebook and it got over 100 comments! Many wanted to know the variety, so I’ve been sharing the link to these awesome seeds—highly recommended!
