If you wish to get these seed...bid now...limited amount.
Not same variety of others selling on web right now...these seed came from an original plant from the late 1700's.
These seed are not from a seed vendor or store...straight from plant itself.
Plant early spring and will bloom till first killing frost in fall.
Blooms prolifically and seeds prolifically as well.
I planted 3-4 seed in one hole I dug and my plant had five stems with loads of flowers. Not hard to maintain, needs very little other than to wet its roots ever so often, more if you have a drought, a couple of times a day is what I do during droughts. I have pruned back in late fall, after leaves start falling, to winterize, and next year it comes back again, from the roots it grows new shoots.
This is for a 2x3 baggie with the bottom full of seed. Too small to count that many...would take to long.
About 75-200 seed though.
Last one left. When this auction is over, it is over.
Git it now, Before they are gone. Good luck.
