    Customer photo review of Love in a Puff Seeds

    Lovely plant with beautiful small white subtle flowers that are liked by honey bees.

    The little white flowers were so precious. Fast growing will definitely plant again especially since I have seeds from the puffs.

    I started these seeds indoors and nicked them rather aggressively. I held them with needed nose pliers and scratched with a knife. I had great germination and the vines are growing well. I'd recommend growing these in different areas of your garden to see where it likes its spot(s). My best looking vine is NE side of house, raised bed with regular water. It's got it's own trellis and it is very fine and delicate.

    I planted these seeds a few years ago and loved the delicate leaves on the vine, and the green paper lantern puffs are such a delight! Add to a bouquet of freshly cut flowers for the perfect finishing touch (look great with zinnias and dahlias). And for an added bonus, the puffs actually will self seed and you'll have pretty little volunteers around next year!
