Not what I expected.
Verified Buyer
The ones I got looked nothing like the picture. They were sort of apricot color in the center and greyish purple towards the edges, and not at all attractive.

So vibrant
Verified Buyer
These were awesome, and the hummingbirds loved them, too. Very vibrant, but they were more solid/two toned than splotched, but still pretty. Will grow these again.

Love glads. Plant a lot of them for cut flowers. I hope the bulbs produce the flowers that they are suppose to?
My go to source for bulbs & tubers
Your glads and dahlias have been shared with members of my local garden club and have claimed 1st place in a number of categories at the state fair for several years. The glads are 2-3 times larger than many others and the dahlias that I add to every year winter over very well and increase their display each year. No other firm offers as many unusual varieties of glads and dahlias as K. van Bourgondien.

Why is the picture fr Caroline showing a completely different flower from your catalog picture? They're not even close in pattern & coloring! So which would I be getting~ the one pictured in your ad? Or the flowers in Caroline's pictures? If I planted them & they came up significantly different from your ad pictures-would you return my money if I didn't like them? Would I have to dig them up & send them bk to get a refund?
