Customer Reviews
I nevermind received my order! Please send me a replacement asap.
All seeds have germinated!
It’s growing
I planted 6 seeds and 5 of them came up!
I thought I messed these coleus seeds up cause I learned after that you just put them on top of the soil but I buried them. I figured they wouldn't grow so imagine my surprise when I just looked and saw babies already, only 4 days after I planted them. I'm so excited!
