- Laurie M.CA, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars9/26/25Never Grew
I planted these exactly as I should have , watered in correct spot and nothing grew. So disappointed. I contacted customer service and they expected me to give them the number off of the seed packet, which i no longer had. Would like to try again in a potentially.
