Mine is not growing anything! The dirt seems to be more like sand, am I supposed to use my own soil to get these seeds and beans to grow?

My Granddaughter used just the soil in the kit. Hers grew very quickly. You could probably add some garden soil to make it grow.

I planted them in a planter and they never grew. I may have gotten a bad batch of seeds but they didn't work by planting them in a planter.

Hi I put them in water overnight and then planted them. Only one seed sprouted anf it is growing as we speak, at this point it is still only a plant though but I hope to plant it in the ground soon

I planted mine last year in full shade and soil is somewhat hard. They came up this year and are close to 1ft. I'm really enjoying this truly different hosta.

I don't know because mine never germinated and I followed the sketchy directions. I am a master grower in a different plant arena so I'm no stranger to starting seeds. These were a complete failure for me.

If they are ACTUALLY milkweed seeds (mine weren't!), stratifying them helps germination. Place them in damp soil in the fridge for a couple of months. Then put them in a warm location to sprout. I know this doesn't help for this year, but I hope it'll help you later. :)

Hello! You can surely grow this in a regular pot. Just dump the soil mix inside the bag in your pot (or your own dirt too I suppose would be fine as well.) The seeds are in a little packet and I found them to be useful enough to fill said ugly sack twice. Hope your kitty (or dog.. I suppose dogs can nibble this as well; don't see why not) enjoys!

sprinkle a few on top of the soil, and sprinkle some soil with your hand to cover them, you wont need more than a few mm of dirt and you can do it direct in ground or in seedling trays, I do mine in the ground. The seeds are delicate but once they start growing you will have a lot growing and spreading.

I have been trying to grow this seed in dirt, but the catapillers keep eating them. Growing them in containers would probably be best. Plant the seeds really shallow in the dirt or they will not sprout. If you are using a planter make sure they are spread out. My first batch I sprouted in jiffy cubes, and they were all eaten by the catapillers. My second batch I sprouted in Dixie cups. This worked much better. I transplanted them into small pots and they have done pretty well. If you will keep them outside you will have to use seven's dust every week. I would keep them in a screened in porch or a sun room.

I don't know, NONE of my 30 seeds produced a single plant. I fertilized, watered, and weeded, after cultivating the soil. THE SEEDS FROM THIS COMPANY WERE BAD!

my Jerusalem Artichoke bloomed but never had seed. I don't know why. The tubers spread under ground. I think it was a pound I ordered and got a 5 gallon bucket full of tubers. I am waiting to see how many I missed when they start coming up in the spring. I will leave them in a couple of places I planted them but will dig them up in my small garden spot. If I have trouble getting them all out I will put a tarp over the spot so they can't grow.

I just got seeds, they grew for about six months then all died. I'm guessing they didn't get nearly enough sun :(

In deed, the same thing happen to me. In fact, we lost it before the fall came along. I figured we got a enough vitamin and nutrients we needed for the grass to start growing. But it would have been nice for it to continue growing lush and full. Oh well. Nature is kind of strange in that way.....I look at it that Mother Nature knows what she is going. Good luck in future planting. Miss. Ducky

I planted mine 2 months ago, and had no problems with seeds. They are in my garden growing now. I only received a few seeds that did not bloom. Just make sure you germinate them properly.
