Great germination rate
These seeds are doing excellent in Southern California in July. Average temps are in the high 70's to 80's and very dry. The seeds sprouted within 2-3 days with almost a 100% germination rate, 99/100 sprouted. We are very happy with these seeds and cant wait to purchase other seeds from this companies collection.
