    Overall rating: 1.3 / 5 from 3 reviews.

    What a giant disappointment this “mix” is. Unlike other reviewers, these did grow for me. But three of the four roots are white yarrow. This isn’t a mix and now I’m stuck with a bunch of white yarrow and one corner of color (pink). Such a huge disappointment.

    Very slow to sprout. Not for the impatient. Slow growing as well. Not all of them grew too.

    Store owner replied: Hello CHRISTOPHER H. Thank you for your review of Eden Brothers! We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Feedback like yours is invaluable, as it helps us continually improve our products. After checking in with our Customer Service Team, it looks like we were able to assist you further. When planted as bare roots, yarrow typically spends much of its energy developing a strong underground root system before putting on significant top growth. In the first year, you may see minimal foliage and little to no flowering, but this sets the stage for a much more vigorous plant in the second season. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts with us and hope you have a beautiful growing season!

    Nothing. I was so excited for these colors. But nothing grew
