    Customer Reviews

    Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 1 reviews.

    These seeds had a wonderful germination rate, and the plants are my favorite in the garden! They’re beautiful and don’t have a huge footprint, but throw a ton of flowers. So far, each plant is setting about 1/5 of the flowers, which based on the lack of fruit on my indoor plant under 12 hours of grow lights, seems to be directly related to pollinator activity.
