    • Plants had full red pedal flowers but now very skinny pedals with little color! Look nice from nursery but not the next year.

    • Although the plants are healthy, this coneflower is straight up orange. No reds, no pinks, just plain orange. Not what I needed for my color scheme. Very disappointed.
