Excellent!

Colors of a watermelon with the Beaty of a dahlia. A real eye stopper.

Gorgeous!

I had tons of beautiful flowers!

They were gorgeous and an usual coppery pink color.

By the end of the season (late November), interestingly, the color reverted to a lavender color that reminded me of 'Lavender Perfection."

Lovely

Beautiful color prolific!

Pretty flower, but not a Dark Monarch

The flowers on mine are orange and white, which seems to be a problem other have been having? They’re pretty, but definitely not what I ordered (order 194248).

Our customer service team will reach out to you shortly.

Not a monarch

Not that I hate what was sent, it just wasn't what I ordered. I received the same that others seem to be getting.

Pretty bad.

Got zippo from 2 tubers ordered for Spring 25.
Disappointed in results this year. I didn’t receive what I ordered for two other varieties and no results from these tubers.
