    Customer photo review of Bee Balm Seeds - Mix

    I started seeds in a an aero garden with good germination in a week. Transplanted into soil peat pots when second permanent leaves were strong. They are currently under lights 1 hours a day with supplemental heat as needed. Only lost one transplant to date due to injury to roots during transplanting. Expect to harden off in mid February and place into containers and garden by the end of February I have started a new batch of seeds which germinated in a week.

    Planted exactly as instructed, last fall for spring germination and I have nothing to show in return. Money down the drain not a single flower.
