Nemophila Discoidalis - Pennie Black –also known as Baby Black Eyes, are low growing annuals that bloom in the spring. They are black and a deep violet color with a white center and white tips, so they are very attractive. They are fast growing, can be grown in either full sun or partial shade in well drained soils, and will grow between 4 – 6 inches tall.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
