    This is my second purchase of the Catmint Six Hill Giant, i truly love them, they are extremely beautiful. Just planted my second order and all except one are doing well. Customer service is amazing, quickly refunded me for the one that wasn’t doing well.

    Catmint Roots - Six Hills Giant

    Tried this supplier for the first time and I am very disappointed. This has not come up and shows no sign of doing so. Just like the rest of the reviewers, I am disappointed with the quality of the product. This one I did place in pots to ensure that they were monitored adequately to ensure they sprouted.

    I bought four roots, and even after I planted them in pots just to be sure and kept them in the greenhouse (because we have a huge slug problem) not a single one showed up. It's very disappointing and I won't be buying roots again because the price is too big for such a disappointment. Very sorry

    I am a big time fan of Eden brothers and have purchased numerous times from them with great results but of the 8 catmint roots planted (followed the exact instructions on the roots) Not a single one has come up! Very disappointed and will be cautious to purchase roots from here on forth.

    My parents got me these as a gift. The roots had sprouts but never came up. Maybe I planted them too late in the season. I planted them in a drier location but we’ve gotten a lot of rain.

    Catmint Roots - Six Hills Giant

    Store owner replied: Hello! Thank you for your review of our Catmint! While it is a hardy and drought-tolerant plant once established, excessive moisture can lead to several issues. It may take the roots longer to grow while fighting through a wet Spring. If these do not produce for you, feel free to reach out and we'll be happy to work on a means of resolution with you! Feel free to reach out by phone Monday through Friday from 9am - 5pm Eastern time at 855-440-2929 or by email at service@edenbrothers.com.

    Had no luck- maybe too much rain... but all other mint is up and about- basically uncontrollable so not sure.
