Total disappointment not purple!

Submitted 4 years ago

By B. Best

From Vermont

First of all the one that has bloomed is definitely not purple. Less than three quarters came up, all but one have not gotten more than a few leaves no height above 5 inches, the one that did bloom was bright pink not purple!! Total waste of money.

Merchant Response

Thank you for sharing your review with us. We were sorry to hear of your disappointment with the Purple Sensation Ranunculus not growing and what did grow blooming pink not purple. We could not find any evidence of mis-shipment, but mislabeling or mis-shipment could have happened. We are delighted to let you know we guarantee our merchandise, and we will be reaching out to you with a positive resolution.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Pretty flower with a poor rate of growth

Submitted 4 years ago

By Jc

From Washington

I planted fifty of these and researched carefully to plant them correctly. Only five came up at all and only two set flowers. The flowers that did grow are very pretty. I wish there were more of them in the bed!. Customer service took care of me on this problem which is why I appreciate this company. Hopefully I'll be able to propagate more in the bed.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
