    Customer photo review of Verbena Seeds - Obsession Cascade Violet Twister

    My germination rate with these was somewhat low, but the plants that did emerge are lovely. In terms of color, a couple are violet and white, while another has pink, violet, and white hues.

    Store owner replied: Hello Torri. Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that germination was lower than expected, and we understand your disappointment! They can sometimes be a bit slow or inconsistent to germinate, but a few adjustments can help improve success. These seeds benefit from being sown on the surface or very lightly covered, as they need some light to germinate, and should be kept at a steady warm temperature. Consistent moisture is key, but avoid overwatering, as soggy conditions can reduce germination. Patience is important, as germination can take 2–4 weeks or longer, but once established, they tend to grow well. We are glad we were able to provide tips and a resolution and that you’re satisfied with the outcome. As always, we stand by our seeds and your success, and we’re here if you need any additional support moving forward!

    Only 2 out of 12 germinated.
