I used some of these to plant between my row of rose bushes to help keep pests away! I had better luck with these vs the garlic chives. Year 2 they looked phenomenal!

The seeds germinated well. But it was not chives sprouting in the pot: it was clover. I also ordered clover from this seller so maybe the packaging got mixed up?

I ordered a few other seeds from southern seeds and all germinated very quickly with 100% successful germination (zinnias, asters, marigolds). These are taking a bit longer…which was expected.
