Sungold seeds expensive?

Barb_FL · July 14, 2014

I bought mine from Burpee because I wanted to try Heatwave II, and Burpee was one of the vendors selling it; so I bought Sun Gold from them. Very expensive ($6 for 30 seeds; doubt if there were extra seeds either). I only planted a few of each, and all seeds germinated (not usually a problem for me). I planted 2 SG plants in the earthbox but a snail chewed on one and it died. The one left has a bunch of flowers already - amazing b/c this is Florida, but I've been rolling the EB into the shade in the afternoon.

If I were to buy today, I would definitely order from Remy. I recently ordered from the Sample Seed company (looking for KBX to try for the fall to go along with Kelloggs that I already had). I received my package in days from ordering.

It's good to hear that TGS is a good vendor; I was looking for Solar Fire and they had it, but I didn't want to pay the $5.25 shipping.
