    These all grew in funny, didn’t open all the way and kind of rough looking. Pretty color but not healthy looking

    These are so pretty and germinated well. I look forward to planting these next year too. The variation from bloom to bloom is so pretty!

    I live in the northern part of the U.S. so while I'm watching my Apricottas grow beautifully, I have yet to see them bloom. I can hardly wait!!

    Did not have great germination. Watered after planted and maybe 25% sprouted. Too expensive for this few of plants.
