 Seeds Jul 28, 2010
I guess I would need to wait for them to grow, however, I need to say before that the packaging was terrible, as I opened the box, I guess I lost almost 20% of the seeds. They come in a regular enevelope, so the seeds come out easily... not cool.
 my seeds did well Jul 14, 2010
Most of my seeds sprouted and are doing well as plants...have to separate and repot them soon.....Id recommend them...I started mine outside in the shade and gradually move them into the sun...not sure if they will bloom this year (Im in RI)..but hoping with some help from fertilizer they might be coaxed... :)

quality of seeds Jan 12, 2009
I bought theses seeds - as well as many others - and they simply did not come up. I followed all instructions given for planting but had zero results. This was true of about 95% of all the seeds that I bought with these seeds. I live in an area where it is in the 60's at night and 80's during the day (year around). I am at 4,800 feet above sea level in the city of Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico. The seeds were started in small cups in potting soil in my greenhouse under a very controlled condition.
The seeds were shipped to my Texas address and brought to my home in my auto. I say this so there is no miss-understanding that they were damaged via x-ray by way of a flight.
It was a waste of time and money.
