Hardy little seedlings and beautiful plant by my flowers are blue and yellow instead of blue and white. We’ll see how they continue to bloom through the season, but this is not the look I was going for and after two years of waiting for the seedlings to mature, I’m somewhat bummed.

The receivers at our retreat were excited to get these columbine seeds! We also planted some of them at the office! We are excited to see them grow! Customer service was suburb! We add a post office issue of the lost package .... Botanical Interests stepped and took care of the post office claim and resent another package asap.

Excited to find seeds for a blue coneflower! Planted in front garden two years ago with great germination and growth. Neighbors stop to ask what the pretty blue flowering plant is! Still blooming in 90 degree late spring Central Texas temperatures. Had two plants come up this year from seed from last year's plants.
