    These are really pretty but smaller than expected. Mine are only about 6 inches off the ground and have full blooms, the blooms are tiny. Maybe they will get bigger?

    Customer photo review of Black Eyed Susan Seeds - Goldilocks

    I grew them from seed probably earlier than i should have in early March under grow lights, around March. By the time i planted them in May, these were almost full size and i thought the steams were a little fragile since they were not exposed to the outside. Withing 2 days of planting them, these plants took off. Their steams grew stronger and within a week i had all these huge flowers, i counted 30 flower buds total in 4 plants. I highly recommend them. They are very pretty in real life.
