Danfordiae grew as Eye Catcher
Verified Buyer
I purchased 2 bags for 25 and planted them between the rows of iris reticulata (purple) and the hyacinth I planted. Almost all of them grew which was fantastic. However none of them were the 'Danfordiae', all them were 'Eye Catcher'. I had purchased one bag of ten of the 'eye catcher' and planted them at the end of the flower bed. Everyone loved the Eye Catcher but I scored this a four rather than a five because I really wanted the yellow color of the 'Danfordiae'.
Pretty & Delicate
Put them in hanging baskets and small pots. Flowers are fragile, don't always last. Also, the unfortunately bloomed at the height of winter storms, so took a beating.
