I purchased a package of these bulbs about a month ago when I was
setting
up my first tank. There were four bulbs in the package and all four
have sprouted
and grown (some better than others). The resulting plants (so far) have
grown
to the top of the tank, covered the surface of the water with floating
leaves,
and sent up numerous flowering stalks. The first flower stalk that was
sent up
practically grew in front of my eyes, when I got home from work it was
about
two inches from the surface of the water, and about two hours later it
had broken
through the surface.
In short: they grow rapidly and well, but be sure that they are what
you want!
