"I love them. I don't like paying for packets and not having any seeds at all in the packet. At $2. 00 a pack and buying 14 packs but 2 were empty I wasn't happy with that. You get hardly any seeds in a pack so getting empty ones is a lose for me."
"Great seeds they just took off and are growing great"
"I have not planted them yet. Plan to direct seed in ground when it warms up."
"The moss rose is one of my favorite flowers that I see blooming, so I was really excited to get these to test out. They are so beautiful! I am not sure my climate is best for them, so they weren’t as thick as some I’ve seen at stores. Maybe next time I’ll use more seeds."
"These seeds were so easy to plant. I’ve been waiting for them to germinate and they just showed some sprouting! I’m hoping they continue to grow and that I can transplant them outside in the spring."
"The seeds are packaged in a quality envelope with visible growing instructions. The germination rate is high and offers a good blossom variety. I also noticed lowesr pest resistance as well. This product added a great color variety to my garden."
"Beautiful variety of blooms ! Germinated very quickly, grows very fast too, very little maintenance. Super happy with my choice. Will be planting more next year !"
"I, by no means, am a florist. I can kill weeds if I try to grow them. The moss rose seeds are easy to use for me. I only killed one. They bloomed quite quickly and smell delightful."
"Hard to write a review as they haven’t flowered yet. But for someone who struggles to keep plants alive, these seeds were incredibly easy to grow. Even an amateur, like myself, can do it."
"Generous amount of seeds, plenty of a germination, and great flowers."
