- Rita S.UT, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 starsJul 8, 2026not a good germination
I used the Paper Towel Method for cold stratification. I planted two seeds each in 12 trays. Only 6 out of 24 seeds sprouted. I was a little disappointed.

I will plant my seeds in the warm spell in February and then lightly cover with fine dirt and mulch that has been saved from the fall warm shredded leaf mulch.

- Naomi P.Verified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 starsMar 20, 2026disappointing germination rate
Out of around 20 seeds, I only ended up with 3 gaura seedlings. I've been really disappointed with the germination rates I've gotten with seeds I've purchased from BI this year. I bought new seeds from a different brand and those were much more successful.

- Lisa B.Rated 2 out of 5 starsMar 17, 2026a bit disappointed
I have been wanting to grow gaura for a long time and was delighted to find seeds at a local garden center. Unfortunately, there were only 19 seeds in the envelope so not much to work with. I should have winter sowed them along with most of the rest of my seeds but I direct sowed them instead and they dried out in our windy weather. I'm determined to grow these beautiful flowers so I'll pick up another pack. Maybe there will be more seeds in that one.
