I grow these mainly for indoor arrangements. The stems are long and sturdy, and the flowers retain their color beautifully even in a vase. Very happy with this purchase.
Out of 50 seeds, nearly all sprouted within 10 days. The flowers are strong, healthy, and deep maroon as advertised. I appreciate how consistent they turned out.
These Bachelor Buttons filled in empty spaces beautifully. The maroon tone is dramatic, and the plants stay compact and tidy without much fuss. A delightful addition to any flower bed.
I�m not very experienced with flowers, but these seeds were simple to sow and germinated fast. The plants grew strong and the dark maroon blooms are gorgeous. Highly recommend for beginner gardeners.
The seeds took a bit longer to germinate than I expected, but it was worth it. The flowers are large, vibrant, and attract butterflies. Great addition to my backyard garden.
