I cant specify this specific plant’s results, but so far I’ve had fair germination rates (I am still learning, so I can’t say if the issues are seeds or gardener!)
Things I like- veteran owned! Seed packets open and reseal easily, and prices were very reasonable
Things I’d change- the information on the seed packet was disappointing. I had to go back to the website to find all my info, there wasn’t plant height, sun requirements, or even a photo of the plant. If did have planting info, but I guess I expected more after ordering from MIGardener and Botanical Interests.
