I planted these seeds in early spring, and I was amazed at how quickly they sprouted. The flowers are small but vibrant, and they really brighten up my garden corners. Very happy with the quality.
Germination took longer than I expected, about two weeks. Once they grew, though, they were healthy and lovely. Patience is required but worth it for the delicate flowers.
The flowers are gorgeous, but they�re delicate and need some shelter from heavy rain. Still, they�re worth it for the cheerful colors they bring.
I�ve never had much luck with flower seeds, but these were surprisingly resilient. Sprouted in about a week and kept growing strong. They�re perfect for beginners.
I planted these in small pots on my balcony, and they thrived. The flowers are charming and attract small bees, which is a bonus for my little urban garden.
