    Customer photo review of Candytuft Seeds (Dwarf) - Fairy Mix

    The seeds all seemed to germinate and grow well but they’re almost all white, just looked up what variety I bought to confirm.

    I followed the directions for these and they grew green leaves but not a single one flowered. I have waited over six months to see if they would flower and they haven’t. It just looks like cheap garden cover at this point. Not worth the purchase.

    I planted many of them, they germinated and grew great. But I have yet to encounter any color other than white and purple. Even purple is a stretch. I grew about 10 of them to full size, and there's 1 purple plant, 1 single purple plant. Not sure if the other colors just didn't germinate well or what. But i was definitely expecting a wide range of color.
