I planted half of the seeds and saved the rest and all of the seeds that I planted sprouted. My package arrived a week later. It took a while to get here but it's because I choose standard shipping.
Bought them, got them in the mail, planted them and now they're sprouting!! So excited!!
This is a short variety (5'), and I want to see how it does here. I'll probably have to adjust our acidic soil next spring.
