Seeds germinated fast and survived a hot spell without issue. I�m impressed with how tough these flowers are. Will definitely plant again next season.
Planted a small patch, and the blooms lasted weeks. I�ve been cutting them for indoor arrangements, and they stay fresh longer than other flowers.
These seeds sprouted quickly and the deep purple flowers are stunning. I planted them in my backyard, and they've attracted lots of bees and butterflies. Very pleased with the quality.
These flowers add a vibrant pop to my vegetable patch. The deep purple really stands out. Only wish they had a slightly larger bloom.
I�m new to gardening, and these were really forgiving. Even with minimal care, the cornflowers grew beautifully. The color is richer than I expected.
