- Christine C.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars7/10/26Didn’t make it to flowering
Unfortunately, these either didn’t germinate for me and if they did, they didn’t make it past the seedling stage.

- Christine C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7/8/26Was hopeful
Unfortunately, none of my seeds made it to flowers. Some germinated, but didn’t make it past seedlings for some reason. Better luck next time!
Which best describes you as a gardener? BeginnerBIBotanical Interests7/10/26Hey Christine,
I'm so sorry to hear your strawflower seeds didn't make it to the flowering stage! Since some of your seeds did germinate, that shows they were healthy and viable, but seedlings can be quite delicate and sometimes struggle due to environmental factors like temperature fluctuations, watering consistency, or soil conditions. Strawflowers can be a bit finicky in their early stages, but once established they're usually quite resilient. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are committed to ensuring your experience is positive. Thank you once again for your input, and here's hoping your next gardening adventure is more successful! Keep on growing 🌻️
- Desiree H.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7/5/26My new favorite flower
These are gorgeous! About 18 inches tall with lots of long lasting blooms! They open during the day and close up at night. I keep my flowers in the garden but these would be fantastic for cut flowers/bouquets. Germination rate for me was about 50% but so worth it.
