    Customer photo review of Strawflower Seeds (Dwarf) - Tom Thumb Mix

    These are so pretty, I but them in a place with probably too much sun. As I only got 8 plants. I am very happy with the blooms so pretty took 90 days from seed to blooms.

    Strawflower Seeds (Dwarf) - Tom Thumb Mix

    The few flowers that did germinate were beautiful and I dried them to enjoy all winter. Was very sad that that it was only 5 out of the entire packet.

    These grew so well by winter sowing in 6b. However, they are HUGE. In my raised bed, they’re taller than I am! This is only a problem because of how I planned the garden/sunlight for other plants. Do not use a whole packet unless you’re ready to be a strawflower farmer!

    Not sure what I did wrong, followed all the instructions but couldn’t get a single seed to germinate in the ground! Zone 10.
