- Julie M.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars11/1/26Do it for the bees!
I threw out a packet of these in a whim in the middle of my pepper and tomato bed and they came to play! Beautiful tall plants. Bloomed all summer. Bees love it. It’s Oct 31st in Zone 7B TN and I’m leaving them up for the bees.

It's really cool that you're leaving them up through the end of October to keep supporting the bees - that's awesome of you!

- Linda S.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars10/23/26No success so far
Seeds arrived quickly. No germination. I did have something appear and was excited. But it ended up being a butterfly bush.
