    Customer photo review of Fivespot Seeds

    Here in Maryland we had another winter with some 5ºF nights --and imagine my surprise when a plant that volunteered (self-seeded) in my flower bed turned out to be a five-spot from those I had planted last year! It is blossoming right now!

    In my opinion these are too expensive, because I saw them at dollar tree for 1.25 last week and they are already growing
