The receivers at our retreat were excited to get these columbine seeds! We also planted some of them at the office! We are excited to see them grow! Customer service was suburb! We add a post office issue of the lost package .... Botanical Interests stepped and took care of the post office claim and resent another package asap.

We're so thrilled to hear the Rocky Mountain Blue Columbine Seeds were such a hit at your retreat and that you planted some at the office too! Those beautiful blue and white blooms are going to be absolutely stunning when they start flowering! We're also so glad our customer service team could jump in and take care of that postal issue for you quickly. There's nothing more frustrating than a lost package, but we always want to make sure you get your seeds so you can start growing! Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience and we can't wait for you to see those gorgeous columbines bloom! Keep on growing 🌻️

Hardy little seedlings and beautiful plant by my flowers are blue and yellow instead of blue and white. We’ll see how they continue to bloom through the season, but this is not the look I was going for and after two years of waiting for the seedlings to mature, I’m somewhat bummed.
