I'm an amateur, this is my first season. Ping pong came up quickly and has been looking great so far. I'm not great with seed depth so I think that may be the problem with the ones that haven't come up yet. So excited to see the flowers!

The seeds shipped quickly and look great.
So excited!!!
I can't wait to get them planted!
about 20 % germination rate, but otherwise great.
Very pleased with my order. Well made products!
Poor germination, but it's probably more user error than fault of the actual seed.
I NEVER RECEIVED, no correspondence whatsoever, do not order from them.

I have started these at the end of February. Great germination. I grew these last year. Absolutely love them.
Can’t wait to plant
have grown other varieties, never this one.
I have started these seeds. I expect germination any day now.
Will plant in spring.

I bought 3 varieties of scabiosa from TGW. Most of the Ping Pong and Fire King seeds germinated for me and are looking great so far. Very happy with these! The Blue Cockade did not perform well at all. Only 4 of the 50 seeds germinated. This is my first year starting cool flowers from seed, so it could be user error. But of the scabiosa seed purchased from TGW and Johnny’s, Blue Cockade are the only disappointment. I’m excited to have so many Ping Pong seedlings and seed left over for a spring sowing!
