[SLI-public] Plantable Pencils

[Hazel Onsrud]

I planted one. It grew something green....then I left for a bit of time and it perished.

My apologies for any typos; I'm replying on my phone with mischievous fingertips.

Good morning,

I picked up one of these pencils at a recent conference. There is a sunflower seed help within the plastic portion of the pencil, though I don't know what kind of sunflower, and I can't yet confirm of its viability. It probably is. This is a cool idea, especially for swag. As a gardener though, I'd prefer to know what variety of seed I'm planting beyond "Sunflower," "Sage," or "Basil."

Hi SLI folks

Does anyone know if these Sprout World plantable pencils with seeds in the stub actually grow viable plants? Has anyone had success with something like this?
