    Customer photo review of Columbine Seeds - Barlow Mix

    Oh my goodness!! I planted some little seedlings and my husband complaint all summer long about the fact that I have to wait until the year after to get flowers… Totally worth the wait!! This year I don’t know what I did wrong but I sowed 3 packs of seeds and I got so little germination. I definitely give it a try next year.
