FEATURED REVIEW

high impact, a favorite, February 8, 2009
Submitted by KLR1 from Chicago burbs

"I've started these under lights for my garden for three years and love them. The orange flower against deep green leaves are beautiful, and I place them under a maple tree where nothing else can tolerate the shade. I hope to buy these again."

New Guinea Impatients, November 3, 2006
Submitted by gregory10 from Ardmore, PA

Plant performance:		5 out of 5
Appearance:		5 out of 5

"Like the other two reviewers, I initially had trouble getting these seeds to germinate. But after some trial and error I figured it out. I put them in a domed seed started over a heating pad out of the sun. The humidity got them to emerge after three weeks. As soon as I saw small flecks fo green, I put them in the sun. And they were spectacular this year. Planted them in May. By September they were three feet tall with millions of orange flowers. I nearly cried when the frost took them. Don't give up on these. They are well worth the struggle! And Burpee, please don't discontinue them. Just give a little better directions and your growers will love em! Good luck."

Just can not get them to germinate..., April 13, 2006

"I loved the pic on the website and was keen to get them going early indoors, which I wanted to be shades of orange and purple this year... I have bought two batches of seeds now and nothing ... very frusterating. I wish Burpee would sell the plants. "

If they germinate, April 8, 2006
Submitted by Anonymous

Plant performance:		1 out of 5
Appearance:		5 out of 5

"These are absolutely beautiful flowers; however the germination performance leaves a lot to be desired. Last year 9 of 25 seeds germinated, and this year 6 of 25 germinated, after allowing 6 weeks at a temp of 72 degrees."
