I ordered from this company for the first time and they were super. The seeds are germinating so weβll see how they do
This is the first time I am growing anything from seed so I am hopeful Iβll be a master gardener or not by the summer!
I am not sowing them until
I return to Vermont in 45 days. Let u know then
The only thing in my order was the purple smoke tree seeds.
Basic instructions for planting would have been nice.
We have not planted yet
Waiting on dryer days:)
Seeds arrived in a timely manner and securely packaged.
Just as described - Thank you!
They looked to all be in good shape. Very discret shipping. All in all I am very happy. Would like to make sure the ones I planted are the ones for medicinal pain relief among other great characteristics. If you could please email me and verify the ones i planted are the ones I'm seeking ? Thank you for your time.

Thank you for the review Cathy!
In Monroe, NC (Zone 7b-8a), it's best to start planting Red Angel Trumpet seeds indoors in late winter to early spring (JanuaryβMarch). This gives them a head start before transplanting outdoors after the last frost, typically around mid-to-late April.
Planting Instructions:
1. Pre-Treating the Seeds
Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and improve germination.
Optionally, scarify the seeds by gently rubbing them with fine sandpaper or a nail file.
2. Starting Seeds Indoors
Fill seed trays or small pots with well-draining seed-starting mix.
Plant the seeds ΒΌ inch deep, covering them lightly with soil.
Keep the soil moist but not soggy.
Maintain a temperature of 70β80Β°F for the best germination results.
Use a humidity dome or plastic wrap to retain moisture.
β³ Germination Time: 2β6 weeks.
3. Transplanting Outdoors
After the last frost date (around mid-April in Monroe, NC), harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7β10 days.
Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with rich, well-draining soil.
Space plants 3β5 feet apart to allow room for growth.
Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Care Tips:
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 2β3 weeks during the growing season.
Winter Care: Brugmansia is not frost-hardy, so in Monroe, NC:
Grow in a container and bring indoors during winter.
If planted in-ground, cut back and heavily mulch or dig up the plant to overwinter indoors.
Grandfather had about 10 acres in this type of sugarcane. Very hallowed memories of the harvest and the making of that syrup. We would ride the mule or feed the sugar cane through the press. Bees everywhere. He had a cooking bin that had an elevated red clay foundation. Don't have of that but my memories and NOW, some of those same seeds. Appreciate you all.
Wow Garry,
what a nice memories.
sound like a childhood from a fairytale.
we hope you'll have new memories with the new seeds.
thank you for the wonderful review and sharing your beautiful story.
Growing nicely in my garden room until warmer weather then outside
The peppers came. They ended up being rainbow bell peppers. I assumed theybwould be green bell peppers.... But yes the order did arrive
Arrived promptly. Will be planting this spring.
Planning to do the black hearts justice. Given the needed information. Thank you.
Not sure how these babies will grow. Still have two months before inoculation. Hopeful!
The seeds were a Christmas gift for my Farmer / Gardener son. I gave him the seeds today and his face lit up. We both can't wait to see how they grow!
