I had such a fun time choosing seeds from the nice selection of varieties, and it arrived all in order and in a timely fashion. The “Apricot Mix Strawflower” seeds have had really good germination rate and I’m seeing vigorous growth! The mix is a range of colours from light peach, pink, antique rose, peachy-orange, and burgundy.
The “Double Gloriosa Daisy Rudbeckia” was also easy to germinate. I planted early spring and now we are harvesting nice, tall, bright yellow double and single flowers on fairly sturdy stems. I’m ordering more for next year!
