    Overall rating: 3.5 / 5 from 6 reviews.

    Planted a good many of these around the house in well fortified well drained beds with mixed to full sun. We watered regularly and they responded very so so. The bloom period was gradual and partial with an unimpressive effect

    I was disappointed. These blazing stars grew tall but bloomed badly. One end was dying while the other was still opening up. Also the Ranunculus Bulbs I purchased, not one of them materialized, could the squirrels have eaten every one of them, maybe, but I have some doubt.

    I was more excited for the blue liatris but ended up deciding a mix was ideal… these grew fine but all but one of my 20 bulbs came out white :( disappointing
