Has anyone grown these seeds successfully?

I bought them thinking I could, but after putting them in water with no sprouts, I deemed them infertile.

Mine never came up. Theoretically the annuals should come up every year and the annuals could create seeds that come up but, based on my experience, I'd look elsewhere.

I am so glad that am not the only buyer who experienced this with these seeds...I tried different potting mixes, seed germination pods, everything...and not one of them sprouted.

I have no clue, but I haven't started glowing or turning into a walking fish yet, so I think I'm good. I've grown ones very similar to this before, the only difference being that they were hot instead of sweet, and they've always done well. The ones I ordered this time around are coming along nicely under a lamp on my desk, and should be big enough to transplant as soon as the frost date passes. I'll be saving seeds, so I'll know next year whether or not it's a stable variety. Plus, if they were GMO, I figure some big company would be protecting the heck out of online sales by third parties.

There were instructions with the seeds on how to plant them but I don't remember if there were any instructions on how to grow them inside. sorry

Mark, I wish I could answer you, however, I've planted only a portion of the seeds. The Skullcap was not one. Maybe next spring!! I do know what I did sow came in at about an 80-90% germination rate.

I have had luck with the seeds I have planted so far, and live in the Texas panhandle where we experience high winds coupled with extreme temperature swings. I am sure that with the number of varieties included, you are going to find something that will grow extremely well in your climate. I like to also try to create a micro-climate for other varieties to get them to flourish best.

I don't see why they wouldn't work for seed starting. What type of seeds are you attempting to grow? Typically plants in net pots either need lots of air at the roots such as orchids or are growing hydroponically with no soil.

It was about the same time of the year when I planted mine. As I remember it took more or less a week for them to sprout. Almost all of the seed did sprout eventually. Make sure they aren't growing inwardly, towards the ground. I tried to have mine indoors, in southern California, but my gardening skills aren't that great and they ended up dying before I could harvest them. Maybe I'll try again this year. I've seen people planting the seeds indoors and them moving them outside after it sprouts successfully. Hope it helps.

I haven't planted mine yet. Sometime I have trouble starting them too. I had one that took a year to come up. I have sandy soil which i think they like. May be start them in pots for protection and let them seed naturally where you want then to go. I know they don't transplant well.

I just planted some in my garden only a few days ago. so far nothing.. I did plant some in the house in those little green house plastic containers that come with the little dirt pods. they are already growing. took less than a week and they are already an inch tall.. the seeds I planted outside I water twice a day because it gets hot and dry quickly. I mixed garden soil and compost and steer manure into the garden. each seed is different as far as sun. So far I am happy with them.

Probably not. The seeds we got were hard, old, and when they finally sprouted, VERY moldy. We tried it twice to see if it was just one batch. Both were covered with mold (and since we live in Southern Arizona, mold isn't something you see every day). I'd find your seed elsewhere. I've been buying from a wonderful place in San Francisco called Sprout People. Take a look at their website.

No, I had over a 90% success rate with my seedlings. But I was very careful not to overwater and this will cause the roots to rot.

Hi I put them in water overnight and then planted them. Only one seed sprouted anf it is growing as we speak, at this point it is still only a plant though but I hope to plant it in the ground soon

I have tried that and nothing, none of the trees I planted germinated. Really quite frustration.

Purchased yes, germinated, no. Followed instructions precisely, no results.

Mine have struggled, and a of the four planted this spring two of died. It appears, however, that the two survivors might be ready to take off and grow. My only advise is not to have too high of hopes, but they appear spectacular enough to try. If not, I'll plant hardy kiwi in their place next year, as they are doing very well reaching for the top of the fence.
