They all germinated, Evelyn, but after they came up, the vines were like thin hairs and I only got 2 blooms. The plants all died off in our oppressive summer heat despite regular watering. They never toughened up into the sturdy little plants regular sweet peas get to be. Too puny for Texas summers, for sure. I don't think I want to try them again. They'll likely like California weather better than ours. Thanks for the offer though, as I love all things blue. But as with blue delphiniums, I've learned to stick with what works in Texas heat and drought, and many blue flower favorites just seem to do poorly here. Sad
