Great Germination Rates!
I live in a completely different climate (hot, humid, and rainy SE Louisiana) and planted several of these. The seeds were shipped quickly, and I planted several right after they arrived; all of which germinated within a week. The vines have all started to run and are several feet long; loaded with flowers. I am hopeful that I can get these to produce here!

Fast delivery
I actually haven’t planted these yet because the birds keep eating all my seeds and the heat started before I could do it! So I’ll plant this fall or early next year. But the service was great!
