vigorous growth
I started these plants in a greenhouse at the local CCE. I gave seeds to friends who have had great luck as well - Close to 100% germination on these. They are gorgeous lush plants in my garden right now - I cannot wait for the fruit and will certainly review that when they start to deliver!
