Hypoestes Pink Polka Dot is a great choice to mix in with other foliage plants in the shade. Its pink will sure stand out amongst other plants and give your beds a unique look.
Pink Polka Dot will give months of color and enjoyment in the house too! Sow Polka Dot plant seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks before frost season has passed. Use well-draining potting soil and gently press Hypoestes seeds into the soil.
Covering with plastic wrap to hold in heat and moisture is helpful. Pink Polka Dot plants tend to get leggy, so do not hesitate to pinch them back to encourage a more compact plant. Grow as a perennial houseplant or an annual outdoor plant in zones 3 to 8. May grow as a perennial in USDA zone 9.

I bought some red sunflower seeds from this website. I also bought seeds from the big box store. The seeds I bought from this website sprouted first and look very robust. I am ordering more. Look for the next review once they bloom!!!
The seeds arrived quickly but we did not receive part of our order. We are still waiting for the ones we received to grow so too early for full review.
