"So easy to grow! I have a black thumb and so many of my seeds sprouted into baby plants! Super easy to follow instructions! Unfortunately our seedlings were all eaten by local critters before becoming flowers. I would definitely purchase this brand of seed for any future gardening!"
"I was excited to receive this from Influenster because I have a garden and I’ve become interested in planting more flowers and making it look more appealing. I received seeds a little bit later in the growing season, but they should continue to grow throughout the next couple months. So far I really like what I see! They’re very visually pleasing, they add a lot to my garden look beautiful, I can tell they will be pretty tall. For the price these are a really good deal, I would easily buy more of these seats again in the future recommend to anyone who is looking for various types of seeds they offer so many, try it out!"
"I received this product free as part of a campaign. I’ll have to admit from the start that it not as good of a Gardner as I thought and couldn’t get anything to grow. This isn’t the seeds fault but the user fault. I still have this product 5 stars as I’m sure if I could have done it correctly I’d have huge sunflowers growing."
"they are starting to grow and sprout, and they look good they will take a while to grow, but although they are growing fast outside? The packaging was easy to use and I recommend buying them the value is good they smell good they’re very effective and they’re durable  "
"The Ferry Morse sunflower seeds are well packaged and the instructions for planting and growing were easy to follow. I am looking forward to taking care of my sunflowers as they become full grown!"
"Live sunflowers, they’re beautiful and provide beauty to my yard. Can’t wait for these to grow so we can enjoy their beauty. The oriduct was packaged well"
"The packaging was your typical flower seeds. Nothing super special. The flowers grew well. For what you pay for them they probably are worth it. Needs a full sun area. Would buy this brand again."
"Never tried this brand before but for three years in a row, I've planted these in the back row of my raised beds in my garden just for fun. The stalks grow to be about 4 inches thick at maturity, and the sunflowers are at least 15 foot tall with heads that easily reach 12-16 across. Never have to be staked and they hold up to wind and weather just fine. They make a beautiful landscape border around the garden and we will continue to plant them every year. Will continue to buy this brand."
"Cute little packet of sunflower seeds at an incredibly affordable price. I planted these seeds in the garden in front of our house and I can’t wait to see how they grow! It’s the perfect time of year to plant them, according to the back of the packet!"
"The sunflower seeds come in a beautiful color package. The directions are clear on how to plant the seeds. The seeds are planted under a large window in the front of our house that gets morning sun. It is too soon to tell whether we will actually get any flowers, but according to the directions we should be able to see in several weeks. "
