Joanne, They almost look like hibiscus. Are they in that family? How tall do they get? You speak of seed tapes. I was in Kmart's garden dept. last week and saw this new product in a package. Seeds and fertilizer all in one pkg. Almost bought one to try and still might do it. Next time I'm down there, I'll write down the product name even if I don't purchase it and discuss it here. Maybe others would be interested.
Maybe we should have a thread of products we find in the garden centers that others might be interested in. Hint!Hint!
