What customers say
Customers highly value these seeds for their exceptional reliability in establishing robust ground cover, especially on challenging slopes where other plants struggle. The core positive theme centers on long term value and successful, dense coverage. Users confirm high germination rates leading to an attractive, drought tolerant pink flowering mat that demands minimal upkeep once established. A key consideration is patience; the spread is slow, often requiring a full season to fully establish. Furthermore, while excellent for erosion control, buyers note the aggressive spreading nature requires careful placement to avoid overwhelming nearby vegetation. Overall, the seeds deliver a high quality, permanent solution for specialized landscaping needs.
