If you want something specific always go with the reputable supplier..... I've relearned that lesson a couple times, usually with something nice but not what I wanted.

Box store mixes usually get me. 24 mixed phlox all turned out white, mixed dahlias were only two colors.... Also many misslabeled box store iris, dahlias, peonies.... Too many to be an accident. I think it's a planned disregard for accurate labeling.
