Luna Rose hibiscus flower

"I recently ordered and received my shipment of seeds from your company. I sowed my seeds in 1" and 2" trays and placed them in my greenhouse. I have been tending them daily to make sure the soil was properly watered and getting the needed sun. What I did not expect is for my dahlia, brachycome, ageratum, cosmos, and rudbeckia to have germinated by the fourth day after planting. I am not talking about just a nub of green peeking through, but actual sprouts with some height to them. I know they cannot be weeds that contaminated the starter soil because it was brand new starter soil. It must be some kind of super seeds you produce. Needless to say, I am very happy with the products I have purchased from you the past two years. Keep up the good work!" ~ Peter in Missouri

"It is a wonderful thing to work with a company with such a high standard of integrity! We are starting a butterfly, bee and yummy garden at our home. To be honest, I ordered WAY too many seeds, But to my delight, you shipped a beautifully packaged order on time. Now after and incredibly high germination rate I am busy transplanting thousands (literally) of happy little plants. The dream of the summer garden helps pass the time. I will definitely order from you again. But maybe not quite as much!" ~ Diana

"Just wanted to say thank you. This year Swallowtail Garden Seeds produced the most beautiful flower boxes we've ever had! From June through September the flower boxes overflowed with tons of cascading petunias. We live at an elevation of 8,500 feet in Colorado and chances are good the snow will reach us this weekend. I am sorry to see the end of our flower box season, but we plan to purchase all of our seeds from you again next year!" ~ Jamie and Gene in Colorado

Hanging basket of silver and blue petunias

Last spring, I purchased some petunias from Swallowtail for my hanging baskets. The seeds were excellent and I had success from all the varieties I purchased. The first photo I am sending is the hanging basket that gets all the compliments! I combined tidal wave silver and opera supreme blue. I get so many compliments, and all my flowers really withstand the heat. They are looking much better than any of my store bought flowers. Thank you so much for providing me with beautiful flowers this summer! ~Sharna in Minnesota
