I ordered from them a couple of years ago and had one seed
packet mislabeled - they were supposed to be coleus and were
obviously some kind of dianthus. I also had one packet
never germinate at all; could've been my fault, although I
tried two years in a row. I've decided not to buy from any
catalog that doesn't give genus, species, and zone. Linda,
