We just thought the bag was labelled wrong. SO she went out and bought red ones a year & half ago, planted them and they came up red last year, but this year came up yellow.

Probably either the red ones haven't over-wintered (died out) or more likely they are a later flowering variety that just hasn't bloomed yet...
