Amish gardens
Reviewed By: Jane (Waverly, MN)
I admired these flowers in most of the Amish farms/gardens in Iowa. I was able to buy a couple flowers from an Amish bakery. I got more seeds from those three flowers than I knew what to do with. I planted them this year and they are gorgeous. No one around here has heard of them. But they all want to plant some next year.

One Show stopper
Reviewed By: Traci Leonard (Lathrop, CA)
I was driving in Stockton California yesterday, Drove by a House that had roses and this plant. It stood at least 4 to 6 feet in some areas and was taking over her garden. Large fuchsia colored blooms. I had to stop and ask this lady what they were and she gave me 2 flowers from the giant plant. I would never have guessed this is the same short plant this woman grows. Now I can run back and tell her what they are called. Great website. P.S. This flower really over shadows any rose to bad it has no fragrance. Sure would like to see the RED, YELLOW, GOLD and ORANGE in this breed. I only have the seeds for the Pink.
