    I have not bought seeds from you (yet) but seeing the review above I wanted to pipe in. These flowers are just awesome, they are the best scabiosa, last a long time, etc etc. I love them!!! Generally speaking I also want to say that Lisa gives excellent advise, follow her suggestions as different seeds required different treatment and you should be successful at that stage of the growing process. (I have bought one of her books and listen to her podcasts. Amazing!

    I had really poor germination with these. only 3 of 25 – and only two survived from there. How sad. I may try Black Beauty to replace for that nearly black color.
