Not tried because I don't believe it for an instant! They look photoshopped. Wonder if anyone has?! I bought a fern a couple of years ago that was meant to be pink and black when mature but....it's not! Lol.

Good grief! I've never seen those before, although 99% of the vendors on e-bay appear to be in the far east. The blue one is touted as 'African Blue' or 'Jewel Blue' strawberry. If you Google it there are some scathing reviews on US Amazon, where nobody got them to germinate and lots of people say it's a hoax.

I bought some Tomato seeds last year from China........Bright purple on the packet but turned out chocolate brown. Very nice though.

I have heard that you can get things like this but I wouldn't buy from abroad. Like VCs post about diseased seeds from abroad you don't really know your getting and have no come back to the companies if they are abroad. Think your right CTL they do look a little photoshopped.
I would only get 'odd' coloured or traditional coloured things from a UK seed supplier.
