Got it
Well I ordered these along with 5 other seeds and whereas the quality of the seeds appears to be good, i am a tad disappointed that nothing in my order was labeled at all, so i had to Google each seed to find out what they looked like so i could label them not hard to do but it was annoying and when i order seeds i expect them to be clearly labeled. Which is why i gave an over all 3 star rating. Also shipping was slow but that is to be expected considering they came from Singapore.So Seed Quality 5 stars.Company common sense 2 stars.

popping up quickly!
I planted the seeds quickly and threw then in a 20 ft long ditch that I spaded up. I figured a few would pop up but they are sprouting up real thick . I think all 1200 are coming up. I know I will have to start thinning them out. Can't give five stars as it will be awhile before they bloom but sure think it was worth the money...Happy Happy!!!

Not sure about this....
I ordered a packet of purple coneflower seeds in May 2019. The package of seeds I received have a germination date of 2018. We’ll see how many germinate.

Probably my fault
I did not plant these in full sun, and they did not come up. I don't know if it was me or the seeds, but I would be sure to plant them in full sun which is recommended. I don't know what to put in that area of my garden now it is so late in the year.

Great!!!
These are growing great but they have drawn squirrels into my yard. They actually ate the last batch I planted. I'm still satisfied as it's growing well and I still have plenty of seeds to restart new plants if I like. I just know not to put them outside until they mature.

Seeds not from USA
No where did it state these are from a foreign country-Singapore. They come in a small foil package that you can't see thru so it's hard to vision the number because seeds differ in size. Being January if I opened them they would be hard to contain in the package and would spill all over. The package is 1 1/4 inch by 2 1/4 inch--is there 1200 seeds. I hope there are no other seeds from another country that will come up not wanted. One star because I only trust USA products.
