ZERO STARS If I only leave one star my review disappears when filtering for “quality reviews”! I planted started some indoors and outdoors but none of the flowers I ordered came up. I waited 2 months to make sure before I reviewed. Unfortunately not good quality. I spent over $100 a few of the other things came up but not these.

Received and planted. This will be a new food for me, and I’ll have plenty to share. Plant plenty as these are a thin, fragile seedling.
Edited to add that one survived, and I think I should have used peat instead of coir. However, once I moved the one plant outdoors, it is perking up and doing well.
