    If you received a large enough quantity of seed for the price, than the poor germination wouldn’t be so disappointing.

    I was disappointed in how few seeds there are per packet, especially given their price. Somehow I missed the seed count in their description. I know they are beauties but will reexamine my imagined garden space without as many as I would have liked.
