A Winner
I bought these last year and loved them. I planted more this year from the same packet from last and every single one of them came up. I started them in my basement on a heat mat and just inches under an old Fluorescent light. They came up quickly and all grew great. They are still outside in their little grow cubes because we have been soaked with rain for weeks, but there are all doing just fine. I'm sure they are all roots, but they are beautiful with lots of beautiful blooms. I hope to get them in the ground just as soon as possible. I highly recommend these seeds. I have never been able to afford geraniums from a nursery before. Now I have 48 of them and all beautiful!

Easy to grow!
I started these geranium seeds in early February and they were starting to bloom mid May. High germination rate. Sturdy plants with a nice variety of colors. I have them both in full sun and in mostly shaded areas. They are doing well in both places. Will purchase again!

Easy and lovely!
I had never grown flowers from seed before trying with these geraniums. It was very easy! They germinated, grew well, and were beautiful. It was interesting to see which colors would emerge. I potted them and gave them as gifts, and the recipients were excitely sending me pictures of the brightly colored blooms. I will buy these again.

poor showing
Started seeds in an Aero Garden. They all took. Plants are small maybe 5 inches across. Bloom is a single flower. Very disappointed show. Also the deer like them.

best flowers ever!~
These geraniums are so easy to grow and gorgeous plants. I have 1 pink petal with pink splash and 1 red and have had for 3 years. I cut them back and repotted and they are growing again. I had white, cherry red, red, pink, pink with pink splash and a pretty orange one!! I highly recommend them.

Very happy with these seeds!
This is my second year growing Border mix. Both last year and this year, every seed germinated, and I am expecting a bounty of beautiful geraniums again this spring and summer. I prefer growing from seed -- so much cheaper than buying plants from the nursery. These will definitely be a yearly purchase!

BEAUTIFUL
Planted in a 4' wide border beside my screened patio. Large healthy plants with showy blooms even though they get less than 3 hours of sun a day.

Amazing mix
Last year I ordered few packages of this border mix and planted pretty late, in February. I had germination rate over 95%. Most plants I planted in the garden and only a few in the pots. They grew beautifully in both places (even in the hot weather) and I loved the colors. I saved some for the next summer, but will definitely order more.
