    Cool plant. Just wanted to say that “ is inches and ‘ is feet. Saying it grows 6-8” is not impressive

    Out of all the seeds I ordered, this was the one I wanted to germinate. Followed all instructions in qualified areas of both my front and back yard and got absolutely nothing. So diissapointed.

    They are beautiful and popped up easily but only orange so far! Would love to see the variety of colors like the photo but it’s only been about 5 months so I’m hoping as it gets bigger maybe I’ll see some more color? Fingers crossed.

    Planted these in the spring and they took until Mid August to bloom, but now are full of blooms and beautiful. Planting earlier next year, we are looking at a freeze tonight!
