- Elizabeth R.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars3/25/26Can’t wait till they flower!
As with all Botanical Interests seed, germination rate was very high, more than 90%. I just up potted them so a couple are a little droopy, but they will pop up as they get used to their new home. This is my go to company for flower seeds. I know I will never be disappointed.

Don't worry about those little droopy ones after the up-potting - they'll bounce right back once they settle into their new homes. Your loyalty to Botanical Interests really means the world to us, and we're so glad we've never let you down!
