    Customer photo review of Echinacea Roots - Sombrero Salsa Red

    I purchased this root thinking it would be a good size root for $30! I got a tiny root that would maybe be valued at $8! I have seen them now 3 roots for $20 at another site!

    Customer photo review of Echinacea Roots - Sombrero Salsa Red

    I purchased a 3 pack of these and it took an absurd amount of time to be shipped. Eden brothers only shipped my order after I asked them why I hadn’t received a shipping notification yet despite the date being past their posted schedule. When my order finally arrived, only 2 roots were delivered in two separate bags. A third bag was clearly devoid of life and was still shipped to me despite lacking a root bulb

    most of the items that I got from Eden Brothers have been amazing. However, these particular flowers haven’t sprouted at all so I wish I could provide feedback on how pretty they are because in the pictures they look gorgeous.

    bought 1 of the red and 3 other colors. The others were awesome and growing well. Not sure the Sombrero Salsa Red is going to make it as it has been well over 3 weeks and no growth
