    Customer photo review of Red Yarrow Seeds

    Very disappointed that the seeds grew into pink, white, and purple yarrow. I am growing a garden in a rainbow gradient and this was meant to be a large portion of the red section.

    I started these seeds in February, transplanted in April, and now it's flowering, not a single one is red, all 50 are pink. Waste of my time and energy.
