Because of this, flower color and form may vary — every garden becomes uniquely yours.

For best results:
• Use well-drained soil
• Provide full sun (6–8+ hrs daily)
• Keep soil lightly moist during germination
• Do not allow seedlings to dry out the first 2 weeks

Pollinator Friendly • Home Garden Sized Packet • Non-GMO
