Thanks for watching. I'll fan you shortly. I think of them as mild but I really don't know what you would consider mild. By 4 or 5 plantings...I usually plant several seeds in each hole. Plus the post office may not be too gentle on all the bulbils. Their machines tend to crush the large ones but I send them anyway. Just in case they make it through and you can plant them. So you should have enough to plant in 4 or 5 holes if you do it my way. If you only put one to a hole then you will have about 20 or more plants. Hope this helps.
