out of 200, only 10 didn't bloom the first year
First year, a variance in heights from 4' to a few at 18", but all give a very impressive show. Bees and hummingbirds love them.
Very nice
I planted these a couple weeks ago and got a package of 100 and all of them but 2 came up so that is really cool. I'm excited to see them continue to grow and buy more items from this company, Because I've never used them before and the plants look great and they do give you a guarantee and that's really nice..
All of them bloomed perfectly last time I ordered!
Last time I ordered I had 100% germination. This time everything looks good! I'm excited for new blazing star!
Poor germination
Started them indoors weeks before putting them out. Very poor germination, out of 100 I have 15 that actually made it. Some are starting to bloom, some probably will not this year. I contacted the company and received a partial refund, great customer service.
Very good bulbs all came up
I love there bulbs. They are very good bulbs. Every one came up.I highly recommend them.
Love these plant
Good quality bulbs everyone came up
Unfortunately 90% of the bulbs didn't grow
The bulbs were smaller than others purchased on other online companies. 90% of the bulbs did not grow. I reported this before and I see my post was deleted. Bulbs from other sites were healthy and grew. The company did give me a credit which I used for fertilizer.
Great Healthy Bulbs
These bulbs arrived with green sprouts on most of them. I ordered a 100 so I examined them and all but a couple had mold on them. I planted them within a few days to make sure they took. They all seem to be coming up. I got tons of sprouts coming up through the ground. At first I thought I had planted my last section too deep, but they soon sprouted after all. Excited to see the mix of purple and white. Will be a great addition to my cut flower bouquets for my roadside flower stand.
Excellent performance and value
These performed very well. Easy to plant. All true to description. 98% of them grew and I take blame for the others that didn't. I planted such a large quantity that a few weren't deep enough and heaved in the winter, so not KVBs fault. The butterflies and bees love them. The most affordable way to rapidly add these to your butterfly gardens.
Stunning! What a winner!
I planted 80 of these too close together but they all came up and they were magnificent. Slow to bloom in 5B but worth the wait.
