Read all reviews at Burpee Featured Review 5 of 5 Pleasantly Surprised November 11, 2008By HummingbirdFavorites from Roswell, Georgia "Being concerned with the drought we're having in the South, I purchased Heat Wave II seeds in 2008 as an "insurance policy" against the summer heat. Of the six varieties that I grew last year, the Heat Wave II tomatoes ripened first and continued to produce until the very end of the growing season. And they're easy to grow. But the texture, consistency and flavor were a pleasant surprise! These are beautiful tomatoes, very meaty with few seeds and a terrific flavor! Most definitely, this was my..." more Read all reviews at Burpee - 4 days ago

• Featured Review: Tomato Sun Gold Hybrid (Cherry) - 1 Pkt. (30 seeds)

  Tomato Sun Gold Hybrid (Cherry) - 1 Pkt. (30 seeds) Average Customer Rating 4.6 out of 5 "Rapidly becoming the most popular cherry tomato of all time an amazing feat for a non-red variety. But when you taste the sweet/tart flavor you'll instantly know why. The beautiful golden-orange fruits are borne in large clusters. The flavor develops early, so this little tomato is great for snacking a week before fully mature, when it becomes very sweet and delicious. Ready to hrvest in 65 days. Indeterminate Sorry, state laws prohibit shipping plants to Alaska, Hawaii, Arizona, California,...more Read all reviews at Burpee Featured Review 5 of 5 Absolutely The Best Orange Cherry Tomato January 08, 2007By PharmD Plant performance 5 of 5 Taste 5 of 5 Yield 5 of 5 "The Sun Gold hybrid tomato should be heralded as one of the best tomatoes to grow. Whether you are a novice or hold a PhD in botany, this hybrid is extremely easy to grow compared to other tomatoes. The plant matures in about two months to produce buckets and buckets of super sweet little orange tomatoes. The disease resistance is adequate so you won't have to many problems. I highly recommend this tomato." Read all reviews at Burpee - 4 days ago

The Candy Cane mix adds a wonderful dynamic to zinnias. I grew these in 2006 and I was absolutely delighted by them. In my native South, you can't ask for a harder working flower than the zinnia and the colorful petals of the Candy Cane mix is quite a show stopper! Plant them where your neighbors can enjoy them too!" Read all reviews at Burpee - 4 days ago

• Featured Review: Zinnia Envy - 1 Pkt. (50 seeds)

  Zinnia Envy - 1 Pkt. (50 seeds) Average Customer Rating 5 out of 5 "Green Zinnias in your garden make a dramatic display that words can only partially describe. 3"" double and semi-double blooms look as sensational in the garden as they do in the vase. Try them in fresh arrangements with white, deep blue or pink flowers. Can be sown directly in the garden after all chance of frost, or start indoors 6-8 before last frost for earlier bloom. This annual grows best in full sun in well-drained soil. Plants ship in spring at proper planting...more Read all reviews at Burpee Featured Review 5 of 5 Love the Envy! November 03, 2006By skeezybug from South Eastern Idaho Plant performance 5 of 5 Appearance 5 of 5 "We grew these Zinnias this last spring (2006) after purchasing our house late in the spring. The west side of the house had almost nothing going on there and I planted a few perennials there, but wanted to put some annuals in to fill in until the perennials did their thing. I planted really late (a week or two after Memorial Day)directly into the ground (had my husband run the tiller over it real quick, that was the only soil prep). We had big fat lime green flowers this summer! They were knee..." more Read all reviews at Burpee - 4 days ago
