Comments about AeroGrow Splash of Color Seed Kit (3-Pod):
The first flower garden gave us so much pleasure that I purchased a second Color Spot combination.
The second one has different flowers so it will be fun anticipating their growth and display especially in the dead of Winter.

Comments about AeroGrow Splash of Color Seed Kit (3-Pod):
I got the Aerogarden 3 specifically to grow flowers in my office in the winter. I have a 7-pod garden in my kitchen & I love it for fresh herbs so I didn't want to give up my herbs in the winter. ANYWAY, I got the Splash of Color pod kit for my first adventure into flowers & it's been very interesting. I waited to write a review until things had been blooming for a bit (I planted the flowers 10/6/09).
I've seen other reviewers say that the mimulus doesn't bloom- I haven't had that experience. It was definitely my slowest starter & is still the smallest plant but it was my first bloomer! It's still going strong; the secret is to trim the leaves from the other two plants to make sure they don't shade it from the light. It's getting taller & continuing to bloom. My only complaint about the mimulus is that as pretty as the blooms are, they don't last very long- 2 days tops. Then they wilt & are pretty unattractive so they need to be tended to & removed. On the upside, removing the dead blooms seems to help this little guy keep growing & blooming ,so...
The marigold is the biggest & bloomiest (is that a word?) of the bunch. LOTS of blooms which last for about a week or so per bloom- it's budding like crazy! My kids love this one the best. It started growing days after I started the pods & has been going like gangbusters since. It was my second bloomer, & keeps the garden bright because the mimulus, while beautiful, doesn't produce as often.
The geranium has the biggest leaves, but 2 months in, not a single bloom yet! I keep looking for anything that resembles a bud & so far, nothing. I'm hopeful that it will, eventually do something. But so far, nada. Still it looks nice & green which is wonderful when it's 7 degrees outside & everything is deary and covered in snow. Still, I'd like some flowers on that one...
Anyway, I do enjoy this seed kit, though I'll probably pick individual flowers next time around. Good luck!

This kit is really simple and easy. Just maintain water and nutrients and you really don't have to do anything else. Geranium is huge and beautiful and is my favorite.

Another pretty and easy kit to grow in the AG3.
See if you can get one without the mimulus seeds though..several have had trouble with that flower maturing and being successful.
I would get this kit again.

Comments about AeroGrow Splash of Color Seed Kit (3-Pod):
I got my Aerogrow Mini for Mothers day with miniature roses and had great fun watching it grow and flower. When that was done I got the Splash of Color seed kit. Of the three varieties, the marigolds are doing the best. I think the Gladiola is on the verge of flowering (although foliage-wise this one is the most prolific), but the Mimulus got off to a slow start and has not caught up, if I am disappointed in anything it would be this plant. I love this product for its ability to bring a little color and fun into my busy life. I don't have time to keep a garden, but the aerogarden is virtually maintenance-free which makes it ideal for me. If you're thinking of flowers, I'd go with something that doesn't include the mimulus.I am also extremely pleased with customer service. When I first got my aerogarden there were some technical difficulties. One very courteously received phone call and my problems were solved. A+ for customer service after the sale!

Bought this for this office to help get me thru the winter. People come by DAILY to check and see if it's growing. My only complaint is both times I've used it only 2 of the 3 pods come up, but all in all I LOVE this small version for work.

Comments about AeroGrow Splash of Color Seed Kit (3-Pod):
I have two full size (7 pod) aero gardens that I adore and this one 3 pod smaller variety that I got for flowers in the kitchen.
My problem with it is that unlike the larger ones, it doesn't have the controls, light settings, resets, etc. It is a much simpler construction so I think you can do less with it. I LOVE my larger units and will buy more of them but I wouldn't recommend such a small one because of the lack of features of the bigger ones.
