    They germinated well, but it's now July 6th and they are barely a foot tall? It is flowering, but I can't see these being tall enough for a cut flower vase.

    Store owner replied: Hello Izzy. Thank you for your review of Eden Brothers! We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Feedback like yours is invaluable, as it helps us continually improve our products and planting instructions. Heat stress, poor soil, or lack of consistent moisture, especially in summer, can stunt growth. If the seeds were planted late in spring or early summer, rising temperatures can cause the plants to bloom early at a shorter height. Also, crowding or low fertility soil can limit size. While it’s great that they’re flowering, for future cutting height, try planting earlier in cool spring weather, thinning seedlings, and providing rich, well-drained soil with regular watering. After checking in with our Customer Service Team, it looks like we were able to assist you further. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts with us and hope you have a beautiful growing season!

    These have given me tons of full airy, beautiful growth, but not one bloom. It’s my first year growing Love in a Mist, and I’m still trying to figure out if I’ve done something wrong with them. Hopefully I’ll get some blooms before the end of summer.

    Can't say enough good things about Eden Brothers. They are my lifetime go to seed company. Bought a large amount of Love in a Mist to give as wedding guests gifts. They arrived and the seeds inside the mailer had opened. When I told customer service what happened and how I couldn't salvage the seeds inside the mailer...they sent me out a new patch and arrived within days ( and well before the wedding). They wanted to know how much I thought was lost and then shipped twice as much as I asked for! Now that is customer service!!

    These seeds were a freebie, which is always nice. I will be planting them during the next week and we're looking forward to seeing them in bloom this summer. Me mam used to have the standard 'blue' ones in her garden year-after-year ( since they're notorious at building up a seedback and naturalising ). I've never grown them myself, but they're a perfect summer annual and we'll just let them naturalise--only we have an assortment of blue and violet shades, which is even better, since our back garden is a complete study in pink, blue and lavender from spring until fall. Thank you.
