Well, I bought tiny 'Sensation' lilac seedlings and I started 'President Lincoln Blue' lilac seeds. I've wait soo many years for flowers and I was rewarded this year with a great diversity in lilacs...

...They all were the common purple... What a waste of time and money. Has anyone else gone through this? You buy seed from a jerk that takes a long time to flower and it's a fraud?

So who did you buy from? Maybe you should post it on Watchdog?

I know exactly how you feel. I bought a bush that was supposed to be a primrose lilac (yellow). I waited for a few years for it to bloom and it was a common lavender. I was depressed that year. I also did it with a trumpet vine plant. 2 different companies too.

I don't even remember. I think on Ebay. But this has happened before with other plants and seed not purchased on Ebay.

The problem is that when it takes like 5 years to flower, you can't really file a claim or recall where you bought them.
