"We planted these sunflower seeds in a large pot, and they bloomed beautifully! The flowers lasted about a week, bringing vibrant color to our yard. Sadly, they died shortly after, but for the time they were in full bloom, they were stunning!"
"We unfortunately got a late start to germination for these but they are still stunning. I have a feeling they won’t grow as big as they would have but I am happy. The packaging quality is average, but the colors on it are beautiful. Didn’t really have an issue with pests and I live in a rural area, i more had to keep an eye out for local dogs and make sure they didn’t dig them up. They were an easy first gardening experience to use as a teaching moment for my littles â¤ï¸Â"
"Of the 4 seeds I planted, one of them sprouted. I think I’d have better luck spouting them indoors since the weather has been really hot this summer in the PNW. I had a hard time keeping the seeds damp. I’ve been using this brand of seeds for years and usually have really positive results."
"I am very new to gardening. I may have been to late in the season for when I attempted to plant these but nothing bloomed for me. The directions about spacing led me to plant only one seed per pot; my fiance said I definitely should have put a few in but I was worried they wouldn't have enough space. Going to try again next year!"
"I really love sunflower. Package arrived but kinda late to plant them. There seemed to be about 15-20 seeds in the packet. I planted them right away i got this package but i live in the zone is probably be too late for growth. Will see, i’m so excited to see flowers grow."
"I can’t wait to see how beautiful that the sun flowers look. I love sunflowers and the colors on the package is beautiful. I was happy to see that they was growing"
"The packet includes instructions on how to plant them, which is great for a new plant dad like me. After a few weeks, I see some germination happening and can't wait for the evening sunflowers to finally bloom. The colors on the packet make me really excited to see this plant grow as beautifully in person."
"We planted this a couple weeks ago and we are still waiting for it to sprout. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The packaging is like any other paper seed packets that you would expect like in those store displays. Will update once it sprouts."
"My review for the evening sun mix color sunflower seeds, the instructions was really easy to follow and the packaging was really cute it didn’t take only 3 days for the germination process to start as you can see in the pictures I haven’t had an issue with pest at all now I’m waiting on them to bloom and come to full size to see how beautiful they look"
"It’s unfortunately too late in the season to plant these where I live, but I am so excited to add them to my stash and use them next year 💛 the pack has so many seeds, it’s closed appropriately and I will be back to update next year after I get them planted in the ground."
