The white ones were first to sprout after I planted them. It seemed like forever but I guess I was anxious to see them. The lavender ones were next and they are a little smaller but the color is very pretty. The last ones are the garnet ones. They are the smallest and took twice as long for them to sprout. It may be because they are barely on the other side of the corner and get different amounts of sun/shade during the day. I am satisfied with the purchase. All the bulbs sprouted which is a success in my non-green-thumb book.
