    I was very excited and they grew well but once blooming they all were orange not the white and maroon.

    Store owner replied: Hello Isabel. Thank you for sharing your experience with this variety. We are sorry to hear the blooms turned out orange instead of the expected white flowers with dark centers. While the plants themselves sound like they established and grew well, this was unfortunately due to a variety mix-up at the grower level that affected a portion of this stock. We appreciate your patience and are glad we were able to provide a resolution for you. The issue has since been addressed with our grower, and we’re hopeful you’ll have much better success with your new order for later this year. We truly appreciate your willingness to give them another try and always stand behind our products!

    I was looking forward to adding a white poppy to my salmon pink ones which I've had for years. This and "Harlem" never got more than an inch high.

    I’ve had luck with one other poppy from Eden but I tried this variety two years in a row from Eden and none of the 4 came up. I would avoid.

    Nothing came up. I ordered a few different types of poppies, and none grew. Followed the directions. Disappointing.

    Sadly these roots didn't do anything for me. I followed the planting guide but had no luck. Would not recommend.
