I was given a Petunia Eggling last Christmas, cracked it and started to grow it a couple of months later. It was really pretty when it started to grow and once it started flowering (I forget when, but didn't take long) it kept going. It's now November and it's still producing flowers!! It gets quite leggy eventually, and the egg doesn't support it enough so I put the whole thing (egg and all) into a deeper pot - this hides the roots and supports the stems. We've been astonished at it's flowering power and I'll definitely be buying them for friends this year.

A great gift ... even if it's for yourself

I saw these little egglings & instantly wanted them. And why would I not? They are cute, they come with their own little terra cotta plant holders and grow adorable little flowers or herbs. So I bought myself two - one of basil and another of mint. I cracked the little egg open, dripped in some water and waited. With in a couple of days, I saw tiny little sprouts. I gave them more water. Another couple of days and the sprout was even bigger. More water, more plant. Each plant is was of fine quality and grew quite large. I eventually had to plant them (egg & all) outside as they were getting too big for just the little egg. I was actually quite sad to not have them inside any longer.
These make a great gift for any plant lover especially a little kid. So I suggest you buy 4 or 5 - two or three to give and two or three to keep.

The petunia worked great for me
19 Nov 2008
My husband bought me 2 Eggs with Petunias and 1 Egg with a mystery herb in it. They ALL grew without using the extra seed package. I really loved the petunias b/c they were so easy to bring back to life with water. I have a black thumb of death, when it comes to plants, so this made me very happy. I replanted them all in nice pots and they grew beautifully. Every year, since then, I have collected the baby petunias that grow in the planter and have a 3rd generation growing in a little pot. The herb died off in the winter but I didn't know what it was anyway. I am actually back on here to buy more for my family. Hopefully they have the same luck as me.

The Easter Bunny delivered these to my kids, but I don't know what he was thinking. They didn't sprout! Not even a little (and YES, I did water them!) The manufacturer includes extra seeds in case this happens, but even THEY didn't sprout. These were a disappointment.
