What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Love Lies Bleeding Seeds for their dramatic aesthetic and visual impact. Mature plants deliver vibrant, cascading crimson blooms, frequently becoming stunning garden focal points that exceed expectations in size and vigor. The value is considered good given the prolific flowering achieved in one season. The main challenge noted is inconsistent initial germination, suggesting success heavily relies on precise planting conditions like soil temperature. Those who carefully manage the early stages are rewarded with impressive, show stopping annuals. Brand reliability regarding packaging and delivery is consistently commended.
