These seeds are great! Got 14 instead of 10, and I have 2 sprouts on day 5. Because I had extra seeds, I experimented with them and put half of them in a hydroponic system and half in soil. The seeds in the hydroponic system all swelled up and are sprouting/showing signs of sprouting. The ones in soil are less swollen and have not sprouted yet. If you give these seeds a try, I highly recommend sprouting them hydroponically. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase!

Question
Merrill Jensen –
Good day! Are you growing this plant in Oregon? And if so, do these bloom for you? I’ve been growing this from your seed here in Alaska at the Jensen-Olson Arboretum in Juneau since ’12 and they have yet to bloom. Just curious to see if they need more summer heat that what our maritime climate provides. Thanks!
