The seeds eventually sprouted, but it took a little longer than I hoped. Once they grew, the flowers were gorgeous and healthy. Worth the wait for a pollinator-friendly garden.
I love that these bee balm seeds gave me a mix of colors. They�re hardy and attract hummingbirds as well as bees. Very happy with the quality.
I�m new to gardening, but these seeds were incredibly easy to grow. They produce vibrant, bushy flowers that make my patio look fantastic. Highly recommend for beginners.
I was worried about growing flowers from seeds, but these were forgiving. Most of my seeds sprouted and grew strong plants. The bees keep coming back, which is a huge plus!
I bought these specifically to attract more bees to my vegetable garden. They work perfectly! The plants are sturdy and the flowers bloom continuously through summer.
