I had 3 of the five pellets germinate. I did start them a little late, using a heat mat and a south facing window and the bio domes, then moved to my hobby greenhouse. I also just got them planted in a hanging basket just a few days ago. Due to construction on my deck, everything got planted late. They are starting to bloom and look healthy and beautiful. I can't believe how they have filled out and flowered in just a few days. I will end up with one of those $80 hanging baskets, for just a few dollars and some time.
