Great germination rate, and vigorous plants that survived the summer drought when little else did. Readily self seed. I had many volunteers in my planters from last year's, and I love them so much I sprinkled seeds in new pots. Great for the pots and hanging pots you can't remember to water enough.

WORTH THE WAIT!! I just spread these seeds in different places around my yard. They germinated well but took more than 60 days to mature to flowering. I have feeders for one resident hummingbird and she’s been so busy trying to chase away all the migratory hummingbirds flocking to these. The colors are vibrant and profuse. I wish BI would offer more colors. I ordered a different brand from Amazon and those didn’t germinate at all. I’m back to order a few more packets.
