Received right on time! Followed planting instructions..Not sure, soaked, planted, nothing is happening?? Followed planting instructions... Thanks for the gift of the Snapdragon seeds. I am hopeful!!!
I just planted the seeds a few days ago, and already I see some sprouting. I bought the seeds because my Dad loves alfalfa, and he likes to use it in his smoothies. I hope I get a nice harvest from these seeds. The baggie came with an abundant amount of seeds. They also threw in some yellow rose seeds which made my day! I have yet to plant the yellow rose seeds. I will post once I see how well the alfalfa and rose seeds do.
Despite the majority of the lot purchased from Seedville not germinating, I thought it important to be non bias and offer my experience with one of the only sprouting seeds out of the 15 types I purchased. The majority of these seeds did sprout and are growing. The other 12 species ordered from them, sadly did not.
Planted these October 10th 2012, in 2 days they sprouted and were almost an inch tall. Im usung Miracle Gro Potting soil with 3 month time release fertilizer. The pot is actually a rectangular plastic bin I bought at Wal Mart. They make excellent pots and are dirt cheap. Have already purchased more of these seeds.
I didn't have much luck with these seeds--entirely MY fault. I'm trying again this year and will be more careful to water well at first. The plants that grew were much enjoyed by my goats.
I purchased these because the flowers attract a lot of bees and butterflies to the back yard. I planted them in a redwood planter and so far I have a nice carpet of green plants. I am pleased with my transaction.
