    Overall rating: 3.0 / 5 from 2 reviews.

    I carefully followed the directions for planting - to a tee - and only ONE seed germinated. That ONE tiny plant subsequently died. I am an experienced gardener, and I am incredibly disappointed in my experience with Eden Brothers. Expensive, worthless seeds. I have far better success with the cheap seeds from box stores than from this company.

    Store owner replied: Hello, Elizabeth Thank you for your review of Eden Brothers! We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It's so important to have feedback like this so we can continually improve our products and processes. After speaking with our Customer Service Team, it seems we were able to resolve this for you. Thanks for your time in sharing your experience with us!

    I got the seeds from Eden Brothers in 2017 and this my second year growing this Beautiful plant. This year I grew it successfully from the seeds I saved last year. Indeed the weather needs to be warm enough for the seeds to germinate. Afterwards, I did some thinning and give each plant at least 3 inch of space as they grow several branches. It doesn't require many plants to have a dramatic show. They are bright, delicate and dramatic at the same time. This will be only annual plant I will grow every year going forward. Love it.
