- Shannon M.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars4/28/26Decent germination, but seedlings are struggling
The first pack I received had a lot of crushed seeds in it. I was promptly sent a replacement pack. There were only 10 seeds so I've really babied them. I got about 5-6 to germinate and they are still alive, but still very tiny. Doing my best to nurture them to full size. I usually have tremendous success with Celosia, so my struggle with these surprised me.
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateBIBotanical Interests5/8/26Hey Shannon,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the Spring Green Celosia Seeds, and I'm really glad we could get you a replacement pack quickly when the first one had crushed seeds.
Sometimes even our favorite varieties can be a bit finicky and test our gardening skills. It sounds like you're doing everything right by giving those 5-6 seedlings the extra care they need.
Celosia can sometimes be slow starters, especially when they're young, but once they get established they often take off beautifully. Your patience and nurturing approach will definitely pay off. Thanks for sticking with them and for sharing your honest experience - it really helps other gardeners know that even experienced growers sometimes face these little challenges. Keep on growing 🌻️
