    Customer photo review of Alyssum Seeds - Rosie O'Day

    Looks like it’s a consensus on the color being wrong! They are also very small even when fertilized properly.

    I was disappointed with the color. I expected it to be pink.

    These are beautiful and are growing great from direct sow. But, like so many of my seeds from this order, the color is not as expected.

    Customer photo review of Alyssum Seeds - Rosie O'Day

    I started these in containers inside, as well as some started later in a cinder block border. The container starts germinate well but have yet to bloom after several months. I had only 2 or 3 out of 13 of the cinder block starts germinate and survive and they are now blooming in a pale purple shade.

    Tiny seeds, but sprouted in two days, hundreds of them, and they are bright, full and growing. I was thrilled to find the Rosy O'day seeds here, and I'm thrilled again to see such little beauties all around my garden.

    Alyssum Seeds - Rosie O'Day

    Very disappointing— I bought several of the colors offered and incorporated them into my garden plan and what I got was either white or purples— no yellows, reds/pinks as advertised.

    Store owner replied: Hello Fairwinds Farm. Thank you for your review of Eden Brothers! We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It's so important to have feedback like this so we can continually improve our products and planting expectations. This variety is a perennial, so you still have a chance to see this color emerge next spring. Once established, it forms low-growing, spreading mats and returns each year with bright yellow blooms in early to mid-spring. After speaking with our Customer Service Team, it seems we were able to offer you a resolution. Thanks for your time in sharing your experience with us!

    As others have stated these bloom purple, not pink. They are pretty but not what I was hoping for

We strive to ensure the accuracy of our seeds and can share in your frustrations, as we wish for all customers to be satisfied with their purchase. We're happy that we were able to come to a satisfactory resolution for you and look forward to continuing gardening with you!

    Started these from seed in the greenhouse, they’ve just started blooming and are all royal carpet purple shade, the most common alyssum color. Disappointing!
