    Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 1 reviews.

    Another packet that was disappointing with literally "8" seeds. The description says average is 50. I received 8. I buy all of my seeds from Eden Bros. But this year the seeds are scarce in most of the packets, from tomatoes to flowers.

    These took a while to bloom but they are very nice. Took some work to nurture and grow but not too bad and now they are healthily growing and blooming!
