Golden Yellow glows with a richness of color that preserves remarkably well when dried.

    These germinated well. They grew green and beautiful. But I got very few blooms. Many of my plants never bloomed. Thankfully I had other types of strawflower from another supplier that did very well. I have such high hopes for many gorgeous yellow strawflowers. I have been told that the yellow ones often bloom later but not blooming at all won't work for me. I took photos but can't find them. They were tall and green.

    I was so excited to have loads of yellow flowers. I grew many of these with high hopes. They grew tall and green. No flowers on most of the plants and just a few small buds on a few. I had great success with another brand ( not yellow sadly.) I have some seeds left but will not grow them out next year. I won't waste anymore garden space with these seeds. Very disappointed. I have had great success with many of your other seeds but these were a dud for me. Bummer.

    My boyfriend had bought me strawflowers that I loved in an arrangement, so I went ahead and purchased the larger pack. I planted some in the ground, some in the greenhouse, and some in a raised bed. I had a few that got a little over a foot tall in each area planted, but did not produce flowers. I planted the entire ounce of the tiny seeds aside from the few that I shared with another very experienced gardener that had the same exact issue. This makes me not want to purchase anymore seeds from Eden Brothers.
