The seeds did take a while to germinate. Maybe because it is cold now. I direct sowed 1/3 of the packet and only 3 has come up. Didn’t give them any treatment.

All seeds sprouted. Great germ rate. Will def sow in cells.
- Callie M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsMay 6, 2026Excellent germination rate.
These plants have obviously not bloomed yet, but they had a high germination rate. The healthy plugs were just lovingly tucked into the ground with high expectations of beautiful flowers for years to come.
