These germinated well.

"Wildflower patch attractive pollinator"

— G (5/5)

Well worth the slow start

"Tried 2 germination methods, only ended up with 3 seedlings, but this plant is much more beautiful than the photo suggests. Retained its appearance and delicate pink blossoms well into late fall."

— StefanieO (4/5)

Great Flower for Coastal Carolina

"Bees are really drawn to Horsemint - great native plant. We are about 3-400 yards from the ocean at the edge of the maritime forest, and these were great!"

— John (5/5)

Germinated nicely, and man, these are gorgeous plants!

"I'm a grower, and am picky about the seeds I buy--I'll buy more of these. They took a bit to grow after germination, but it could have been a fertilization issue rather than the quality of the seeds. I sold most of them and planted a few in my gardens, and I am thrilled with them. They are beautiful and unique, hardy, and will likely spread, as they are supposed to."
