I have a few raised bets I built myself every thing I plant seem t perish no matter how much or less water I give them I think its my soil since 99.9% sugar sand tried mixing it garden soil soil from Home Depot it might be to much sand and and still not enough soil help me I built to more beds but no soil yet I am tired of guessing. I don't have any photos it all dug up.
You probably need to do more soil amending. Add some composted manure plus topsoil. Make sure the plants are getting the amount of sun they need. Water less often but water deeply when you do water. These articles should help:

Does the extension service provide any guest speakers that we could invite to our newly forming neighborhood garden club? We would like to learn.
Yes, their master gardeners go out to speak to the public. Other speakers you can contact will be at the local garden nursery, specialty growers, plant societies, and garden writers and columnists (may charge a fee).
Have had this for years, all of the sudden it's ends are turning brown. Help!
Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the damage.
In the meantime, this collection of articles will help:

Your zone will be 9a and 9b. You will have quite a bit more variety than zone 7, and a longer growing season. Most recommend starting seeds indoors BEFORE the first frost date for a transplant in February. It can be a little more complicated than that, though. These articles will help:

I'm interested in selling flowers but i do have some plants with patents, while i wont be propagating them would be be okay to sell the blooms?
See the last line of this article. It is also illegal to sell the blooms.

And can I revert it back and if so how?
I'm not aware of a plant with that name. It will be hard for me to identify because your photos did not come through. I can offer some general advice about what may have happened.
Genetic Mutation: Genetic mutations can lead to changes in pigment production, causing the plant to produce different-colored flowers. These mutations can occur spontaneously or be the result of selective breeding.
Cross-Pollination: If a plant is cross-pollinated with another plant of a different color, the resulting seeds may produce plants with flower colors that differ from the parent plant. This is especially common in plants that readily hybridize.
Environmental Factors: Environmental conditions, such as changes in temperature, light, and soil composition, can sometimes affect a plant's flower color. Stressors like extreme temperatures or nutrient deficiencies may alter the pigments produced by the plant.
Viral Infections: Certain plant viruses can interfere with pigment production in flowers, potentially causing them to turn white or exhibit unusual colors.
Nutrient Imbalances: A lack of specific nutrients, particularly those involved in pigment synthesis, can lead to changes in flower color. For example, a deficiency in nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, or iron can affect pigment formation.
Natural Variability: Some plant species exhibit natural variability in flower color, even within the same population. This can be due to genetic diversity within the species.
Horticultural Manipulation: In some cases, horticultural practices such as grafting or genetic engineering may be used to change a plant's flower color intentionally.
Unfortunately, knowing whether it can be reverted back will depend on which of these are the cause.
