Neutral	Oberon46	On May 20, 2011, Oberon46 from (Mary) Anchorage, AK (Zone 5b) wrote: I bought seeds from Burpee after someone here at DG praised them. The short Embers seeds germinated really well, but Snowdrift didn't do well at all. I did get four or so plants and will see if I like them well enough to try again next year. Could have been operator error.
