Never Germinated,

"I planted these right in the garden and they never sprouted. Maybe I had a bad batch? I had obelisks for them to grow up, and am trying climbing nasturtiums in their place. Hopefully they will take!"

easy togrow,

"The way to get these seeds going is to put them on top of a very wet paper towel overnight in a plastic tray. You should keep the tray moist by checking on it once a day for 2 days. When the seeds crack, then you should take them out to the garden for planting. Finally, once you cover the seeds with a light soil, water them, and then lay a plastic "flat"-those you take home with you when you buy a lot of plants-and keep the flat over the seeds until the plants get a few inches high. Otherwise the birds and critters will scoop them up without your knowing about it and you'll think the seeds did not grow. I do this with sunflowers and snap peas as well. I LOVE planting these sweet peas and they do return every year if you let them die out and throw the seed pods back into the soil."

Didn't Have Luck....,

"I planted these as seeds, with my young daughter (her flowers...) and was really not impressed. I followed instructions on soil temps etc. Germination was mediocre and the plants were not all that impressive. The perfume from the flowers was very nice, however, but I doubt I'd try these again.
Perhaps I got a bad batch of seed...
