- MIRIAMVerified ReviewerRated 2 out of 5 stars4/19/26I want to love these but…
I’m not sure if I got a bad batch of seeds but I am having the WORST time getting these to germinate! I love botanical interests and almost exclusively buy their seeds but these ones just didn’t work for me :(

- Richard H.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars12/10/25Getting seedling started
3 days after receiving the magic carpet blend snapdragon seeds, I planted more than 30. Great germination and they are thriving in my greenhouse. I live in zone 9B in Florida. Waiting for warmer weather to transplant to gardens.

I started these seeds a couple of weeks ago. They are very tiny so I just took a pinch from the packet and spread them into the cells. All the cells have sprouts. Germination rate is excellent. I can't wait to see them in the garden.
