    Out of my entire package of seed (which was a good amount though) I only got one to germinate. And I’ve yet to see a bloom on it. It’s been very strange. I normally have better results from asters. And they’re such pretty flowers. My daughter and I were looking forward to cut arrangements with these. But our zinnias did turn out well!
