These calendula flowers are incredible. The plant is extremely prolific. All of a sudden the plant grew huge and produced tons of flowers. It has attracted tons of pollinators to my garden and is just lovely. I have only seen orange and peach blooms with the maroon as mentioned, but they are simply stunning. I highly recommend this variety!
Let customers speak for us
from 9275 reviewsThe nasturtiums that I planted last season from Grow Organic are still blooming in November! I love the variety of colors
I really appreciate this softneck garlic!!
Thanks for the great and fast order,
The chickens really like the trsti g ot so I know to cover the larger rows
I was pleasantly surprised how perfect my Shallots came. They were very plump and no blemishes or tears in the outer skin. Would definitely purchase from Grow Organic again and will recommend to friends and neighbors.
We love this garlic. We've planted this variety several years in a row and haven't been disappointed. It's a great producer and has a flavor we love. We've watered and have gotten some rain here in Eastern Kansas and it is up and looking beautiful. Looking forward to harvest!
I was surprised@how big the shallots are! I can't tell if I need to break them apart? I'm fixing to plant them. The garlic is all in the ground on time, the deer try to eat the tender little green tops poking thru the soil
Nice, large bulbs with nice cloves for planting. Excellent quality.
...always order it.
This garlic arrived quickly. All large, healthy looking cloves. Sprouted after about 7 days and is approximately 6 inches tall at the moment
They arrived in perfect condition. Planted, and now we wait.
You won't be disappointed. I promise
Nice sized bulbs all in good shape!
Came in individual cloves and all healthy. 90 percent were large and perfect seed stock with a few smaller ones. Couldn’t be happier
It’s the easiest thing in the world and these folks supply good seeds. It grows over the winter and requires practically no care. I recommend it to anyone who loves gardening and misses it during the winter.
The shallots y'all sent were beautiful . I'm sure my next harvest will be beautiful and delicious . Thanks
I appreciate the extra shallots I received for the sale !
Bulbs were dry, perfect to separate cloves. 1st time planting this variety. Very pleased so far.
