Customer Reviews
I'm very happy to have found TomorrowSeeds! This is my second time ordering red hibiscus seeds. I planted too late last year and didn't get to see them flower.
TS gives a generous amount of seeds for the price and I can trust that they are true to name (unlike eBay!). I remember last year's seeds having a high germination rate. I appreciate that detailed information and planting instructions are printed on the packet itself for easy reference.
Shipping is fast and seeds are well protected in a pretty pink branded bubble mailer. (I got them in 3 days.)
My only regret is not having the space and budget for more seeds! A+ all the way. TS also threw in a free packet of sunflower seeds in my order -- a nice surprise.
Delivery was very quick! I started 4 seeds and did the paper towel method and they all germinated within a week. I did start these seeds a little late in the season so when we got an unexpected frost, my seedlings didn’t make it. This time I will be starting them early.
Only planted two seeds for the season and both came up quickly and are growing strong in our low desert misery of Arizona! Couldn't be happier.
I planted them in pots and in the ground, and almost all of them have already sprouted after just a week! Easy growing instructions, quick deliveryn and minimal excess packaging I'm so excited for these to grow!
