- C C.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars7/12/26In a container
I have 3 in a plastic pot set deep in this blue bucket bc they’re very tall. And also several in ground. I pinched the seedlings a couple of times early on to encourage branching. I feed with Alaska Morbloom and am quite pleased with them but will go for a shorter variety next year.

- Christine C.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars7/8/26Only a few germinated, but very cute!
I planted quite a few in ground- about 3 germinated and grew flowers. The flowers are so cute and unique! I love the color and size- perfect for a cut flower arrangement.
