    Customer Reviews

    Overall rating: 3.0 / 5 from 2 reviews.

    I started these inside but not a single plant survived day 1 of hardening off. This has not been my overall experience with Eden Brothers, but all the coleus and ornamental grass I bought from this order experienced difficulty once moved outdoors.
