Gipsy Queen is a unique colour that has really enhanced my springtime garden. I’ve planted it around “Pink Charm” daffodils and “Serano” tulips. The colour shift from peachy to light pink as it fades is very striking. A nice complement to the blues, pinks and purples of the other hyacinths.
The actual beans are pretty good, but I have had three different types of beans growing from the same packet of Seychelles. One green variety that I'm assuming is Seychelles since it looks like the picture, another is another green pole bean but a flat variety, and the last was a yellow bush bean. It's a bit disappointing to have this happen from such a respected and established company.
These are the most gorgeous flowers ever and they smell like a dream. Bit tricky to grow -- they need light to germinate and a cold period to develop height. They only bloom once but they last 6 weeks in the garden. I wish you'd get in more colors like the Ruby or Antique Rose or Vintage Brown. I would buy LOTS more if you got some variety.
I purchased 4x500g of the Alternate Lawn Blend to cover an area of about 3000 sqft. It's been about 3 months. There are some areas that are looking well covered but other sections that are still bare. We anticipated seeing more colorful flowers but the overall flower color is primarily white with the occaisonal yellow or blue flower mixed in.
