Elegant Climbing Rose Flower Seeds

I sprinkled these seeds on my all the empty plant pots and within 4-5 days I notice each pot with little saplings germinated . Can’t wait to see them growing and blooming colorful . I am so happy I picked up this one for my terrace garden

I have been going through comments from other buyers and noticed that many are saying their seeds didn't sprout. Ok. You should research a bit before sowing the seeds. Because each seed has different character. Some seeds germinate in all environment. Some need darkness, some need bright sun. So i will try to explain all my findings.

Another important thing is sowing medium. NEVER EVER USE COCOPEAT BLOCKS YOU GET IN MARKET FOR SOWING SEEDS OR PLANTING. Its a common mistake many people make. Raw cocopeat blocks contain Lignin chemical which kills most of plants. The professional growers and nurseries use Cocopeat COMPOST. Its a processed cocopeat. Composted coco peat does not contain lignin. Mix it with Perlite + Vermiculate in ratio 7:1. Means, 7 cups of cocopeat compost with 1 cup of Perlite + Vermiculite (Helps holding water).

So talking about the seeds, here is the list of seeds that germinated and died in my first attempt.

#### Germinated #####
Helychrysum (20%)
Poppy California (30%)
Sweet william (50%)
Philox (50%)
Dimorpotheria (Marigold family)
Corn flower (70%)
Ice flower (Succulent) (80%)
Petunia (90%)
Alyssum (90%)
Balsams (90%)
Morning glory (100%)

#### Didn't germinate ####

I will update the list again after trying remaining seeds. Now some points.

About germination

# First thing that germinated for me is Corn flower (2 days). But not all seeds germinated.
# Second thing that germinated is Alyssum. Almost all seeds germinated. I have too many Alyssum now.
# Balsams also germinated fully in 3 or 4 days.
# Petunias also germinated most of seeds. But it took time

# Seeds like Calendula can take upto 45 days to germinate. So don't throw it away after few weeks
# Pansy seeds need full darkness or they wont germinate. Failed for me.

About plants
# My Philox started flowering easily. Very beautiful plant. Needs shade and less watering.
# Alyssum also flowered. Needs full sun and moderate watering
# Ice flower is a succulent, So overwatering can kill it. And is very delicate too.
# Morning glory is a creeper like Shankupushpam.

Update: after 4 months: All the plants i have at the moment after spending 200 bucks.

# I have lot of Petunias in many color. I have taken seeds from the flowers and regrown it.
# Alyssum has grown a lot. But the flowers are really tiny and smells like Honey.
# Not all the sweet williams have flowered, but i got multiple colors of sweet william now.
# Morning glory few of them have creeped up, the flowers are so beautiful.
# Phliox has almost ended its life after giving many beautiful flowers.
# Balsams also have almost ended life. I took the seeds and replanted.

So i have around 6 varities of plants now. After trying to grow 40 of them. Still not bad for the price.

Good thing is the pack comes with 40 different varieties. Some varieties could have had less number of seeds and they could have given more seeds of Nasturtium, Lupins or other low germination varieties.
I had tried growing from this same seed package two years back. That time only one flower grew Morning glory all others perished and most of the seeds didn't germinate. It's been two years I'm gardening so I wanted give this package a shot. It was worth it.

Advise for fellow gardeners
Use a seedling tray or papercups (like I used here). It makes it easier to care for the seedling at early stages. It also makes it easier to track.
Only use cocopeat or seedling mix. Do not use sand or a garden mix (I made this mistake during my first time)
Transplant the seedlings only after you see 2-3 true leaves and you can handle the seedling without damage.
Ideal time to sow is January, Feb or August, September if you live in India. If you sow outside these months you may have to maintain the seedlings indoors.

Note: It may be premature to post a review but so far I'm happy with the results. I'll keep adding more updates...

Its really a value of money, Because many people buys expensive sapling and then plant it and thinks will it grow or not?, but this product is really well because it germinated within 3 days ( maybe yours take few weeks because 2 of mine took so). You only need to see in google wether should i plant in summer or winter, and its contain so many varities that I have never seen before my favourite tall sunflower, it's my first review i write it because I felt someone is like me.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:
