- Janice Z.Verified ReviewerRated 4 out of 5 stars8/1/25I have the loveliest whites doubles and a few single white zinnias, but no lime. I did have some bright pink.
While I’m thrilled with the beautiful white meringue, I'm missing the lime pie part. A hot pink snuck in somehow.
Maybe she's a pink lemonade and was confused.

- DF S.Verified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 stars7/31/25Beautiful Flowers, not Key Lime
They are quality seeds but I made 2 containers of just the key lime pie seeds and I'm getting multiple colors. I really wanted a uniform color story and hoped botanical interests would deliver as this is a common problem, but they are not all key lime, lovely to the may be
