I just planted my Chinese Lanterns and was I disappointed by the number of seeds in the packet. I had bought Wal-Mart Garden packets of seeds and they cost just as much as the other packets of seeds. But there were hardly any in there. I had dug out about 2 rows of 30" each for the seeds and it's starting to rain. Imagine my suprise when I only had enough seeds for a 15" stretch of one row.
Bad Wally World.

The best seeds I have ever bought was at Lowe's last year. They were zinnia seeds in a box mied with hummus or bone meal or something...anyway, there were a million seeds in that box and I had a HUGE zinnia patch by the house and a smaller one in the yard and seeds left over. I couldn't wait to get a box this year...but so far, they don't have them...and I threw away the box so I doneven kn what the company name was or anything...(not to bright). So, I broke down and bought seeds at Wal-mart....UGH...not even close!

Well I know in Western Washington state where I grew up they didn't require anything in the way of care, so I have my fingers crossed. I think they are a great plant. Weezie mentioned that we might get as many as 15 seeds from one flower so we'll get our original seed count back if just one flowers. lol

I feel your pain, as Clinton would say! Awhile back I found packs of seeds 10 for $1.00! Well, I bought a gazillion dollars worth of them! (well, actually I think about 100 packs!) Well, no wonder they were ten cents each...not many seeds in them. But, for a dime apiece I guess I can't complain!
Vanessa...next time you want Zinnia seeds LET ME KNOW! I have gallon milk jugs full of them! (...same goes for morning glory!)
