Out of 50 seeds only 4 germinated, they are growing well although they have slowed down a bit which may be the normal growth pattern for this plant.

I have planted 50 seeds in GA. Only one germinated and I am hoping that it survives. Waste of time and money.
 So far, so good! May 20, 2008

I planted these in mid-January (So. Cal. coastal climate), and of 5 seeds, 4 sprouted after just over 3 weeks. I can't comment on the mature plant or flower color yet, since the plants are still quite small (it's mid-May, as of this review), but I am very satisfied with the little guys thus far.
