    I bought this variation and the le france variation. both had insanely high germination rate, and sprang up super quickly!

    Carnation Seeds - Etincellant

    I had extra seeds leftover and started them inside this year. They took longer to sprout than my veggies, so required some patience on my part. They sprouted, even after one year of me saving the seeds!!! I’m excited to see what happens and will post pictures in an update review. I’m super impressed the seeds are sprouting after a year in storage.
