I was expecting, a rich medium blue color, based on the seed package(see photo below), but they came out a deep, royal purple instead...still gorgeous, and I found the perfect companion sweet pea for it (assuming the packaging on this one is accurate).The seed packet I used was a lake valley brand seed, that I purchased probably four years ago. The package says "sell by 12/08." Regardless of that date, they worked fine for me this year, and I planted about four seedlings in wine Barrel #2
I purchased the seed packet on the right just a couple weeks ago, This one is from Burpee, called "Lilac Ripple." I plan to grow it alongside the "Royal Blue" next year, I think they will look gorgeous together, assuming of course, that Burpee does a better job of representing color on their seed packages than Lake Valley.
