    This was my first Eden Bros purchase - the germination rate is excellent probably 100%. But I just had my first bloom and it’s definitely purple, not blue. I’m a little disappointed. I also got the frizzle sizzle… we’ll see how those do.

    These seeds germinated quickly and almost all germinated. That is surprising given it was my first attempt at sewing seeds and I didn't do a great job with seed depth. Yay!
