    I won't be buying seeds anywhere else. My cats beg for the cat grass and catnip. Everything terminated SO quickly.

    I purchased two packets of seeds. One packet had 13 1/2 seeds and the other had 14 seeds. I planted as per directions in sterile starting mix as per instructions. Three seeds germinated. One is a weed of some sort and the other two appear to be black eyed susans. No Berlandiera lyrata. Very disappointed.

    I started a 6 cell and only 2 actually sprouted and only one made it but I think that is only because of my lack of knowledge. However the one that did make it is producing lots of flowers that smell like dark chocolate powder. I'm now thinking of starting some more when I have the time.

    poor germination on the first packet, did surface sow as directed. I have another packet I will try some and probably save some for early spring

    🤞🏼This is a first time seed choice, but I am hopeful that it smells as good as it looks!
