    Customer photo review of Foxglove Seeds - Purple

    Product packaging was phenomenal and seed germination was excellent… however quality control is lacking. Purple foxglove was purchased but I am getting yellows, a light pink, I don’t know if the issue lies with packaging or if the grow beds are to close together. Great germination, just be prepared to pull up flowers that weren’t what you were expecting.
